MLB Betting Trends

New York

The Yankees have won six of Severino’s last seven road starts and his last five starts against the AL Central.

Cleveland

The Indians are 6-1 in Kluber’s last seven Thursday starts. The Tribe are 62-27 in their last 89 home games.

Prediction:

This game will feature some great pitching, but I give the edge to Severino. His numbers are a little bit better and he has the better hitters to support him. Cleveland has been very up and down at the plate and the Tribe have struggled to find consistent winning. New York is the better team and they are giving the ball to their ace. Go with the Yankees.

 

The Pick: New York Yankees -110
