This is an 8* play on CLEVELAND

Cleveland let a golden opportunity to gain ground on Minnesota slip away last night, blowing a 3-1 lead and losing 5-3. That ended a six-game win streak by the Indians and they're now 6.5 games back of the Twins in the AL Central. We did have the Indians in last night's game, which left a sour taste in our mouths, but they should bounce back today with Trevor Bauer on the hill. Bauer has the fourth most strikeouts (149) in the American League and leads all of baseball with 132 innings pitched. The Indians have won his last six starts. Minnesota starter Odorizzi is heading in the opposite direction with four straight shaky performances. Odorizzi's ERA and WHIP in the last three starts are 8.76 and 1.78. Again, Cleveland had the Twins where they wanted them last night, only for an error to open the door for some two-out scoring. Minnesota definitely overachieved in the 1st half of the season and we see the Indians making this division a tight race in the 2nd half. Play on CLEVELAND
