Tribe split with Jays

Cleveland is coming off a four-game series split on the road with the Blue Jays in Toronto this weekend. The Indians are now 81-62 overall and 37-34 on the road. Cleveland is putting up 5.04 runs per game on offense this year while giving up 4.06 per contest.

Corey Kluber gets the start for the Indians tonight. He has started 29 games this season and has an 18-7 record with a 2.75 ERA and a 0.95 WHIP. Kluber has 190 strikeouts and 28 walks over 193.1 innings of work.

Rays rolling

The Tampa Bay Rays are coming off a weekend sweep of the Baltimore Orioles and they have won seven of their last eight games. That includes a series win at Cleveland last week. Tampa is now 78-64 overall and 44-24 at home. The Rays are within eight games of the Wild Card. Tampa is putting up 4.37 runs per game on offense this year while allowing 3.94 per contest.

Diego Castillo gets the start for the Rays tonight as they once again go with their reliever in the starting role. He has started five games this year and appeared in a total of 36. Castillo carries a 3-2 record with a 3.40 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP. Castillo has 48 strikeouts and 17 walks over 45.0 innings.

MLB Betting Trends

Cleveland

The Tribe are 11-5 in their last 16 games following a loss and 6-2 in their last eight series openers.

Tampa

The Rays are 6-1 in their last seven against AL Central opponents and 13-3 in their last 16 Monday games.

Prediction:

Kluber pitched seven scoreless against the Rays on Aug. 31, striking out eight and walking just two. I think he has another good outing today, as the Rays are not a great hitting team in general. Tampa is hot right now, but a lot of the wins have been against poor teams and poor pitching. Look for Cleveland to ride their aces to another win.

 

The Pick: Cleveland Indians -150
