The Cleveland Indians will host the Minnesota Twins Monday night, and I think we will see the score in this contest fly over the set total.

Trevor Bauer (9-6, 3.88) takes the ball for Cleveland. He conceded eight runs in 2 2/3 innings on Aug. 3 to drop to 1-5 with a 5.86 ERA in three career starts against the Twins. Bauer was tagged with five runs (three earned) on nine hits in 6 2/3 innings at Oakland his last time out.

Left-hander Hector Santiago (10-8, 5.16 ERA) takes the ball for Minnesota. The Twins have surrendered at least eight runs in six straight contests and Santiago has posted a bloated 10.89 ERA in four starts with the club since coming over from the Halos. In two starts against the Indians this year he is 0-2 with a 12.79 ERA.

Santiago won't get much backup from a depleted bullpen and the Tribe will be eager to play in front of the home town crowd again following a lengthy road trip. The over is 8-2 in Indians last 10 home games following a road trip of seven or more days and 16-5 in the last 21 head-to-head meetings with the Angels in Cleveland.
