Cleveland (22 - 28) at Anaheim (32 - 20)
Cliff Lee (L) vs. Kelvim Escobar (R)
Five of Anaheim's last six home games have seen at least eight runs scored and we're forecasting that to continue tonight.
The Indians Cliff Lee is off to a great start this season but tonight he faces an Angels line-up that has been crushing southpaw starters. Anaheim are averaging 6.1 runs per game against lefties so it's no surprise that they're 11-5 SU and Over/Under in these contests. And at some stage Lee will need to hand it over to the worst bullpen in the majors. On the road Cleveland's pen have a whopping 8.90 ERA, 1.978 WHIP and are a 'perfect' 7-0 on blown saves.
The Over is 8-3 (.727) for the Angels at home this season when the total has been set at 8 or 8.5.
Cleveland are hitting .289 and averaging 5.9 rpg against right-handed starters so they should be able to get something going tonight against Kelvim Escobar. He is 2-1 with a 4.81 ERA in four home starts this year. The Over is 20-10 (.667) for the Indians at night this season.
There's a solid chance that both of these teams will score 4+ runs tonight and we believe there is value in playing the Over.
Recommended Play: Over 8 -125
