The Indians are putting up 5.03 runs per contest while giving up 4.02 runs per contest.

MLB Betting Trends

Cleveland

The Indians are 12-2 in Kluber’s last 14 road starts against a losing team and 26-6 in his last 32 starts within the AL Central.

Chicago

The White Sox are just 1-7 in their last eight home games and 2-9 in their last 11 games following a loss.

Prediction:

Kluber is clearly the better pitcher and Cleveland is clearly the better team. Kluber has three starts against the Indians this season and he has won all three starts, posting a 1.29 ERA over 21 innings of work. He has 28 strikeouts with just three walks. I would expect Kluber to run over the White Sox again tonight.

The Pick: Cleveland Indians -255
