Stephen Nover's MLB Monday Masher
(MLB) Cleveland vs. St. Louis,
Money Line: -117.00 Cleveland (Away)
Result: Loss
The Indians are starting to play up to expectations as one of the superpowers in baseball. Cleveland has won seven in a row with all the victories coming by three or more runs.

The price is low enough to get involved with the Indians again in a pitching matchup of Mike Clevinger versus John Gant.

Clevinger is in an outstanding form going 2-0 with a 1.69 ERA and 26 strikeouts in his last 21 1/3 innings spanning his past three starts. He rates a strong edge on Gant.

The Cardinals have lost in Gant's last five starts. Gant wouldn't be starting if it weren't for an injury to Michael Wacha. Gant has a 6.00 ERA on the season.

St. Louis' power is way down this season as the Cardinals rank last in doubles and triples.
