This is an 8* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the Cleveland Indians.
The Indians are rolling, most recently coming off their third straight series sweep of the Tigers over the weekend. While it was far from fantastic, the Braves have been playing much better this month and would take the finale of their four game series with the Mets 5-2 yesterday. This is a significant mismatch on the mound though, a much larger one in our opinion than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe. Trevor Bauer (5-2, 3.20 ERA) gets the call for the visitors, he most recently scattered three hits with ten strikeouts with just a single run in a complete game victory over Tampa Bay on Wednesday. Over his last four outings Bauer has struck out 32 batters over 31.2 innings of work, while allowing just six walks. Bauer comes into this one having pitched at least seven innings in five straight starts and his 0.64 HR/9 and 2.88 BB/9 are both career bests. The home side counters with John Gant (1-2, 4.45) who gave up three runs off seven hits over 5.2 innings in a loss to Miami on Wednesday. Gant has been decent in his limited time, but note that he's 0-1 with a ballooned 7.36 ERA in all home games this season. The Tribe are on a wicked surge and there's no reason not to think that momentum won't get carried over here in what is a big pitching mismatch. Play on CLEVELAND.
