Point Spread: -1.50 | -130.00 Cleveland (Home)
Result: Win
The set-up: The Tribe's offense is firing on all cylinders right now and Cleveland comes into this one sitting 13 games over .500. Over its last 11 games Cleveland has gone 9-2 and hit 20 homers and plated 66 runs. The lowly visiting side hands the ball to Spencer Turnbull, while the home side goes with Mike Clevinger.
The pitchers: Turnbull (3-8, 3.59 ERA) has faced the Indians three times this year and he's 0-3 with a 7.07 ERA.
Clevinger (2-2, 3.99) comes in off back-to-back strong outings, most recently holding the Twins to one run off four hits over five innings on Friday.
The pick: Detroit's offense is last in the league with only 335 runs and 724 hits. Turnbull returned from the IL last Friday and he got shelled for five runs off four hits over three innings in a no-decision vs. the Royals on Friday. This one has "blowout" written all over it, so lay the 1.5 runs and expect a rout.
