ASA TOP PLAY 10* ON Cleveland Indians Money Line (-) vs Chicago Cubs, Wednesday at 6:10 PM ET

Look for the Indians to bounce right back from yesterday's 7-1 home loss. The Cubs start Kyle Hendricks here and his road struggles have continued. Last season he was great at Wrigley Field but went 5-8 with a 5.02 ERA away from home. Opponents hit .290 against Hendricks when he was on the road. This season he has made 3 starts and the home outings went fine but his road outing saw him allow 6 earned runs in just 4 and 1 / 3 innings. The Indians had won 5 of 6 games prior to yesterday's loss and Cleveland has averaged scoring 8.3 runs per game in their last 3 victories. The offense is showing some life and their bullpen has been among the best in the majors early this season. Additionally they hand the ball to a starter in great current form for this one. Carlos Carrasco gets the call here and the same Reds team that just clobbered Hendricks when they faced him was absolutely handcuffed by Carrasco. He held them to 1 hit in 6 innings while striking out 8. Carrasco dealt with injury issues last season but he has put all that behind him and looks like the same pitcher that went 46-24 with a 3.32 ERA from 2016 to 2018. The Cubs are off to a great start this season but have been fortunate with a home-heavy schedule. Chicago is known for being much better at home than on the road. The Cubs entered last night's contest at Cleveland having gone 1-2 in their 3 most recent road games and Chicago was outscored 25-9 in those 2 losses. The Indians respond after last night's loss and their pitching edge and home field edge lead the way in this one. Indians were 17 games over .500 at home last season while the Cubs were 15 games under .500 in road games last season. Per our computer math model, this situation is offering tremendous line value considering all of the above factors. The forecast here is a home rout. Bet the Cleveland Indians on the money line for a TOP PLAY in early evening action Wednesday.
