AAA's RUN-LINE DESTRUCTION (80-50 +$15K RUN-LINE STREAK!)
(MLB) Cleveland vs. Texas,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -140.00 Cleveland (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* RUN-LINE DESTRUCTION on the Cleveland Indians.

Setting the scene: Cleveland took two of three from visiting Toronto, but then dropped two of three to Oakland, including yesterday's 5-1 setback. The Indians were likely caught looking ahead to their important series in Texas which starts tonight and now the visitors will look to get back on track with a much better effort.

Josh Tomlin: He's 11-7 with a 4.39 ERA. Tomlin comes in off an outing to forget in which he gave up six runs over four innings vs. the Blue Jays on Saturday. Note that he's been decent on the road this year, going 6-3 with 4.07 ERA.

Cole Hamels: He's 13-4 with a 2.80 ERA. Hamels comes in off a strong outing vs. the soft-hitting Rays on Friday, allowing one earned run over seven innings in the eventual 6-2 victory. Hamels has posted five straight quality starts but is just 2-2 in that span. Hamels has been a beast on the road (1.91 ERA), but very average at home (4.05) this season.

The bottom line: These teams have both been scuffling offensively of late and with these two competent starters going head to head, all signs point to runs once again being at a premium tonight. In a contest which we see being decided late or in extras, we're going to lay what we deem to be a very reasonable mid-sized price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance. Play on the INDIANS on the RUN-LINE.
