Ricky's 7* play on CLE.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- The Guardians are 6-1 in their last 7 versus. American League Central.

- The Guardians are 11-5 in their last 16 home games.

- The Royals are 15-45 in their last 60 road games.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.
