This is an 8* ASSASSIN on the Cleveland Indians (10:10 EST).

Marcus Stroman (0-1, 8.38 ERA, 1.75 WHIP) had a break out campaign in 2017 by going 13-9 with a 3.09 ERA. So far the hard-throwing right-hander has failed to live up to expectations this season though and we think that he's getting entirely too much respect in this matchup. In his latest outing Stroman was rocked for five runs off six hits with five walks over 4.2 innings in a loss to the Rangers on Saturday. The home side counters with Mike Clevinger (1-0, 0.71), who was 12-6 with a 3.11 ERA last year. Clevinger most recently gave up one run off nine hits and two walks over 7.1 innings in an unfortunate no-decision against KC on Sunday. Note that Toronto is just 105-110 (-31 units) the last two years in all "night" games, while Cleveland is 144-91 (+14.6 units) in all night contests. We're banking on Clevinger outlasting his currently struggling counterpart and all things considered, we do indeed feel this is a great price. Play on the INDIANS.
