    What can I say...I like Cleveland today
    Why are the Indians such heavy underdogs to the Tigers of all teams? Why should the Tigers (who opened at -190 and falling fast) be favored that heavily over anyone? Sure their starter Max Scherzer has been pitching well as of late but he's got an 0-2 record with an ERA over 8 and a WHIP over 2 against the Indians.

    Besides, Cleveland has a decent pitcher of their own in Josh Tomlin with an ERA almost a full point lower than Detroit's own Scherzer. Do I love a play on the Indians? If they win my answer is, of course I do! However, let's face it, the Indians are a sub 500 team and that's never comfortable but they're facing a sub 500 team in the Tigers. It's a value play but one that could very well give you a healthy return. I've got 2 more on my free site but this is the biggest value pup I see today.

    I live here in Cleveland and the Indians are a joke and nobody here in this town cares about them now since the Browns are about to start the year.BOL if you wager on the Indians today but Im not putting on money on this team.

              Hard to bet against Scherzer at home, but I can kind of see this pick.

              Not sure if the line's dropping because sharps are on Cleveland, or because oddsmakers realized they overinflated the line in the first place.

                Not sure either. You're right about Scherzer but historically has not fared well against Cleveland but even if you want to consider those starts as aberrations, Tomlin is a full point better than Max this season in the ERA department. I don't say the Indians are a lock by any means but this line should be a pickem in my opinion.

                  I don't know about that, but DET sure as hell shouldn't be -173 here either.
