    You're getting +170 on a +150 bet with Cleveland.
    There's your value.

    Ran it Thru the simulation

    Minnesota Twins 61%
    Cleveland Guardians 37%

    Slight value on Guardians here but.. To me It's dead money because Guardians hitting is yuck

    Good Luck

    Oh, for sure.
    After Naylor and J-Ram, Cleveland's lineup is soft powerwise.

    Cleveland does have the better overall pitching, but if Bieber goes down, so does Cleveland.

    Cleveland, obviously. Only one game back and way better odds.

    Just curious, how did you know the chances of Cleveland winning the division are 40%?
