Take Cleveland, which has won five of six overall and is 5-1 in its last six games coming off a loss. The Indians have also faired well against teams with winning records, winning six of seven in those situations. They’re also 7-3 in their last 10 games versus American League East opponents and have won five of seven games against the Red Sox as well. Salazar is having an underrated season and with the Tribe having the edge in the pitching matchup, it makes sense to grab them as an underdog.
