I'm just riding the wave, man. On June 14 the Indians were 11 games behind the Minnesota Twins in the AL Central, and after taking three of four from the Twins this weekend, they're now tied for the division lead. Cleveland is 26-9 since the start of July, and is a home underdog against a Boston team that's lost seven of its last 10, is out of the AL East race, and now finds itself 7 1/2 out of the wild card. The Red Sox aren't very good this year, and there's no reason for them to be favored on the road against one of the hottest teams in baseball right now.

Zach Plesac is 6-3 with a 3.13 ERA this season and he is 4-1 with a 2.97 ERA at home. He gave up one run in 5.1 IP in his ML debut in Boston. Eduardo Rodriguez is 13-5 with a 4.17 ERA this season and 7-4 with a 4.46 ERA on the road. The Indians are 8-2 in their last 10 while the Red Sox are 3-7. Take the value in the Indians.

Oddsmakers extended this total above double digits in what should be a slugfest Monday in Cleveland. The Indians' lineup will be the latest to hit the Red Sox hard, and do not expect Indians starter Zach Plesac to uphold his season ERA. Grab the Over.

The Indians have won eight of 10 as they hand the ball to Zach Plesac, who's been outstanding in three of his past four starts. Boston has lost eight straight to winning teams, and AL Central-leading Cleveland certainly qualifies at 71-47. Boston is 5-13 in its last 18 games at Progressive Field. Eduardo Rodriguez is struggling with his control and I don't think he'll shut down an Indians club that's plated 26 runs over its last five games. Back the home dog.
