This is a 6* play on the Cleveland Indians (4:05 EST).

We like Cleveland to bounce back from yesterday's 3-1 defeat. The visitors hand the ball to Mike Clevinger (1-0, 2.70 ERA) who comes in on seven days rest, the result of two different postponements over the last week. In his previous outing he wasn't spectacular, giving up four runs over four innings while striking out five in what turned out to be an 8-4 loss to the Blue Jays. With the extra time off to focus and prepare, we think Clevinger will bounce back nicely here, note that he was 7-3 with a 2.45 ERA on the road last year. The home side counters with Chris Tillman (0-3, 11.91) who was rocked for six runs off seven hits with two walks and no K's in a loss to Boston on Friday. Tillman has now been shelled for 14 runs off 22 hits spanning 11.1 innings of work. After posting a 7.84 ERA and 1.89 WHIP over 19 starts last season, it would appear that Tillman is even worse off this year. The massive talent discrepancy on the mound tonight absolutely justifies in laying this larger price on the hard-hitting and revenge-minded visitors. Play on the INDIANS.
