This is a 10* ART OF WAR on the Cleveland Indians.
What's up with this line? We think the oddsmakers are giving Chris Archer and the Tampa Bay Rays much too much respect in this matchup as we look for under-the-radar Indians' hurler Trevor Bauer to continue his excellent season and to find a way to outduel his struggling counterpart once it's all said and done. Archer (4-9, 4.60 ERA) was most recently shelled for four runs off six hits and three walks over six innings in a loss to the Giants on Friday. The beleagured right-hander needed 107 pitches to get through six innings and he's now allowed at least three earned runs in five of his last six starts. His WHIP stands at a disappointing 1.44 and he's been particularly horrible in this spot all season, going 3-4 with an atrocious 6.75 ERA on the road. Bauer (4-2, 3.46) is coming off an unfortunate no-decision vs. the White Sox on Friday, going seven innings and allowing only one run off four hits while striking out nine. It was his fifth straight quality outing and he'd avoid giving up a home run for a third straigh start. Note that Bauer is 3-0 with a tiny 2.65 ERA in all "night" contests this year. We're giving Bauer the big nod on the bump in this matchup and that, along with what we deem to be an extremely reasonable line, more than tip the scales in favor of the home side tonight. Play on CLEVELAND.
