Cleveland Indians
-130
to beat Chicago WS

The Indians are streaking and their #2 pitcher tonight who is throwing very good lately is taking the mound. Cliff Lee has only allowed 7 runs in his last 25 innings pitched. Diaz is young and with CLE not seeing him yet, that could be an advantage for him but I don't think this is a good line up for him to be facing in his second start. The CLE bats are red hot and have scored 64 runs their last 8 games This is the wrong time for Diaz to see the Indians. Lee pitching good and CLE bats hitting great. 13/10 is definitely reasonable.

I really like the over in this game of 9 or 9.5 but I do not understand why it is so low which scares me. Like you said, the Indians have scored 64 runs in their last 8 games and are a very good hitting team. The Whitesox hit lefties very well and if Cleveland has to go to their bullpen then this game will have a football score. Diaz is making his second major league apperance and he gave up 4 homeruns in his debut. The winds are blowing out and the weather is supposed to be nice, so why the low line? I just have a wierd feeling about this b/c I see this game going way over. What do you think?

I agree

I agree

Over is the only way I would go in the White Sox game, but I am laying off of the total until I get a feel for the series. I like Cleveland at the -130 price with the way their bats are swinging and how Lee has been pitching. The only thing that scares me is the Indian's bullpen.

Don't forget that although the Sox record isn't the greatest against lefties...Konerko, Thomas, Maggs and Crede all thrive off them.
