Money Line: -215.00 Cleveland (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 6* DESTRUCTION on the Cleveland Indians.
For the most part MLB handicapping comes down to the starting pitching and in this case, I think Corey Kluber has a huge advantage today. After starting the year 0-5, Kluber would give up a hit while striking out 18 without a walk in eight innings of a 2-0 win over St. Louis on May 13th, before then giving up one run and five hits while striking out 12 over nine frames in his team's unfortunate 2-1 loss in ten innings to the White Sox. And note, in his only start vs. the Reds back on August 4th, Kluber would give up one run while strking out seven over 7 1/3's innings in the 7-1 victory. The Tribe come in with considerable momentum as well, averaging 4.9 runs and batting .270 while winning six of eight. The visitors counter with Anthony DeSclafini who is 2-4 with a 3.80 ERA; note that DeSclafini is a poor 0-4 with a 6.38 ERA over his last five starts, most recently allowing a season-high six runs in a season-low three innings of Sunday's 9-8 loss to San Francisco. Cincinnati has lost five straight and ten of its last 11 interleague contests, another big factor working in favor of the INDIANS today, lay the price with confidence.
