For most of the season, I thought Dodgers starter Brandon McCarthy was a bit overvalued in the market. But he has proven wrong, yielding two earned runs or fewer in eight of his past 10 starts. He has taken losses in his last two outings despite allowing just four runs combined in those starts. Indians starter Corey Kluber has allowed just three earned runs over 12 innings in winning his past two. I’m looking for Wednesday’s meeting to be a tight pitchers’ duel that sends the total Under.

These odds should be much closer to even, considering the Dodgers are 40-25 with a huge run differential and Brandon McCarthy, who has given up two earned runs or less in eight of his 10 starts, is on the mound. Corey Kluber is a formidable opponent, but he hasn't pitched like a lockdown ace consistently this year. Cleveland is just 1-8 in interleague play this year, and those woes continue tonight.

The Dodgers are 24-9 when not playing division opponents, and I think they're worth a shot at +130, even against Corey Kluber in Cleveland. Play on L.A.

My simulations like the Dodgers to beat the Indians approximately 56 percent of the time on their Wednesday matchup, making Los Angeles a clear play with a lucrative underdog price. The Dodgers are 6-2 in the last eight starts by Brandon McCarthy against winning teams, and 4-1 when he starts Game 2 of a series. The Indians are 1-10 in their last 11 interleague showdowns.
