Lester a dog top the tribe?

I dont follow

[EaglesPhan36]

Westbrook has pitched alot better than him. Offenses seem about even. That's my take.

[mofome]

at the end of the day west is a 4.30 pitcher against the world champs who have their two top RPs ready.

[OLGC_Slayer]

Cleveland is very tough to beat at home. Boston seems like they are starting to get the engines fired up. This one is a tough one to call.
I'm staying away.

I don't like the idea of playing this game. Westbrook is another guy who I think is overrated as a pitcher. If this game was in Boston I would be going with the Red Sox here but considering it's at Cleveland it can go either way.

I'm with you Mo, think there's some upside to a Boston play. I feel they win at least 50% of the time so the + money makes it a play in my book. Also, though I'm not sure there's enough reps to draw any longterm statistical conclusions, the Tribe has hit lefties very poorly this season. Last I checked they were bottom 3 and hitting around .200 or less. Worth a small shot on the Sox IMO.

[beaneaters]

I have Cleveland at 1-3 vs. lefties this season, but in their last 20 games against lefties they are 15-5, averaging just over five runs a game. They beat Santana three times last season.
I like the value of a Red Sox dog, but will skip it this time out.

Martinez and Garko are killing lefties, but thats about it in their starting lineup. I agree in the game being somewhere around 50/50 got to take the +

Beware of the sox pen.
They used some good arms last night

[treece]

Cleveland is a very good bet tonight imo. Boston coming off 2 wins vs the Yankees, i feel they will take it easy tonight.

Papi should be rejuvenated after a day off and spark the lineup tonight. imo.

Timlin got used last night and i dont see him pitchin in relief again tonight. Papi's slumpin bad and the indians local radio was talking about how the players were fired up after the sunday win.
I like the cle RL, but waitin on a better price.

Timlin is awful. If clev could pick someone to come in, it would be Timlin.

Mo, you posting plays anywhere this year? Some of us squares could really use some help. Thanks.

Maybe, but I like him against the tribe.

Remember this Mo, Bosox didnt even get to cleveland till 4am. Rejuvenated?

I said papi should be rejuvenated after a day off. sometimes getting a spark like that from a guy whos been slumping can rally a team. Hes their team leader, i think they'll be excited to have him back in the lineup.

Ive been wrong before.

[JBC77]

Put me down for the over 9 @ +103.

Papi may be rejuvenated, but the guys who got off a plane at 4am after playin the yanks in the cold, certainly will not be.

Played the Tribe -125. Westbrook was great throughout spring training, has been sharp in his first 2 regular season outings, and was Cleveland's best starter during the ALCS. Lester still struggles to throw strikes, which will be a problem against a patient lineup like the Indians if he struggles with his command. Boston's offense doesn't hit away from Fenway, and now they're without Lowell. Ortiz is 0-7 off Westbrook, so this doesn't appear to be the game he'll breakout of his slump. Couple in the fact the Sox didn't arrive in Cleveland until 5 a.m. and that this is a huge statement game for the the Indians after their collapse in the ALCS, and I like the Tribe quite a bit tonight.

Timlin hasn't been a big league caliber pitcher for three years.

Jesus christ how do we always disagree so much yet always end up on the same side?

RJT is the bane of my capping existence

Good luck man.

Westbrook threw a ton of pitches that inning. Had to be over 30.

[hi-rez]

Lester sucks
