This is an 8* play on CLEVELAND

The Indians won last night's game 9-5. They're now eight games above .500 and would be a Wild Card team if the regular season ended today. They've won 7 of 10 overall and have the American League's best record since June 1st (18-9 overall). Kansas City is still last in the AL Central at 29-57 and they'll be a team firmly looking at the future after the All-Star Break. Last weekend saw Cleveland turn in some awful performances in Baltimore, so they won't be taking the Royals lightly. Starter Mike Clevinger is 6-0 with a 2.25 ERA in 10 previous appearances vs. KC. So this looks like a good matchup for him after the disastrous outing against the Orioles. Royals starter Duffy has not been successful in the past against Cleveland, going 2-10 with a 5.68 ERA. The Indians have won 8 of their last 10 games vs. lefties. The Royals have lost five of Duffy's last six starts and are just 2-6 their last eight games overall. Play on CLEVELAND
