Money Line: -142.00 Cleveland (Home)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Indians (10* TRADE-MARK).

Jon Lester has been brilliant so far for Chicago, going 1-0 with a 0.82 ERA thus far. Everything has gone right so far for the veteran, but I think that he'll have a "hiccup" here sooner than later (also note, Lester was a far from spectacular 5-6 with a 4.90 ERA on the road, while also posting a 5.99 ERA after the All Star Break.) Mike Clevinger has been sidelined with covid protocol here, so Adam Plutko gets the nod and he's 1-0 with a 2.57 ERA, most recently allowing two runs over six innings in a victory over the White Sox (note that Plutko was a sharp 4-2 with a 3.85 ERA at home last year as well). I think the tough road venue finally gets to Lester and I look for Plutko to edge his counterpart; lay the price!

T.M. Prediction: 7-5 Indians.
