(MLB) Cleveland vs. LA Angels,
04/03/2018 6:07 PM, Score: 2 - 13
Money Line: 128.00 Cleveland (Away)
Result: Loss
Money Line: 128.00 Cleveland (Away)
Result: Loss
The Indians have beaten the Angels 16 of the past 17 times, including the last 12.
I'm going to ride that streak especially since the Indians are underdogs.
The oddsmaker is putting too much stock in Garrett Richards, who remains on the comeback trail. Richards has made just 12 starts the past two seasons due to injuries. Richards wasn't sharp in his opener against the A's, a much inferior team compared to the Indians. Richards has a 4.40 career ERA against the Indians in 14 1/3 innings.
Cleveland may be the best team in baseball. The Indians are going with Josh Tomlin, who draws very little respect. Tomlin, though, doesn't walk batters and is plus 11 wins during his career with the Indians. He's not sexy, but he is reliable. That's all the Indians need since they possess the much stronger bullpen.
