MLB Betting Trends
Cleveland
The Indians have won nine of their last 12 overall and 19 of their last 26 Game 3’s in a series. They have also won 45 of Kluber’s last 62 starts.
Detroit
The Tigers have lost five of their last seven games overall and 12 of their last 16 Sunday games. They also are 1-6 in their last seven games against a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15.
Prediction:
Kluber is still a very dominant pitcher and I think he will have plenty of success against the Tigers today. Detroit has been very average at the plate in most games and they definitely don’t have the pitching to contend with Kluber. Their bullpen is very shaky.
The Pick: Cleveland Indians -260
