Friday Night MLB *RUNLINE RIPPER*
(MLB) Seattle vs. Cleveland,
Point Spread: -1.50 | 111.00 Cleveland (Home)
Result: Loss
Play: Cleveland Indians -1.5
Rating: 8/10*

The Cleveland Indians have won seven of their last nine games, and I like them to win by a large margin when they host the Seattle Mariners for the opener of a three-game set Friday night.

Seattle hands the ball to left-hander Ariel Miranda (1-2, 4.35 ERA) who gave up four runs on seven hits with a pair of homers in just three innings at Oakland his last time out. Miranda is 1-3 with a 5.59 ERA in seven road contests in his career.

The Indians turn to Carlos Carrasco (2-1, 1.65 ERA) who has been excellent in each of his four starts this season, and he's coming off eight scoreless innings of three-hit ball at Chicago White Sox. He has made four career appearances against the Mariners and is 2-1 with a 2.79 ERA.

This series will be the last leg of a 10-game, 11-day, three-city trip for the Mariners who are dealing with plenty of injuries. Let's back the Tribe on the run line Friday night.
