AAA's SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION (+$11,653 MLB Y-T-D!)
(MLB) Cleveland vs. Philadelphia,
Money Line: -175.00 Cleveland (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Cleveland Indians.

Philadelphia has been rolling by winning six of its last eight, but we think that streak comes to an end tonight vs. what we feel to be the vastly superior starter in this particular matchup. This is a classic "letdown" spot for the Phillies who are coming off a three-game sweep at Washington. The home side sends Adam Morgan to the mound to make his season debut. Morgan was an unremarkable 5-7 with a 4.48 ERA in 15 starts last year and had a pedestrian 3.57 ERA and 30 K's and four walks over 17 2/3's in three minor league outings. The Tribe sends ace Corey Kluber (1-3, 4.67 ERA) to the hill, he's coming off a gem after giving up one run and two hits while striking out ten over eight innings in a 10-1 win at Detroit on Saturday. Kluber has been particularly effective in this spot, allowing four runs and six hits over 15 2/3's innings in two road outings this year and by going 3-1 with a 2.06 ERA to go along with 34 K's and three walks in five starts at NL ballparks in his career. Cleveland has had a day off after beating Minnesota 6-5 on Wednesday and has now won four of six on its current nine-game road trip. We look for Kluber to outduel his counterpart and for the INDIANS to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night.
