This is an 8* on CLEVELAND

Cleveland continues to have its way with Baltimore as last night they handed the Orioles a 17th straight loss on the road. It was 7-2 on Tuesday after the Indians won the first game of the series 4-3. The MLB record for most consecutive road losses is 22, last matched in 1963. The Orioles have been incredibly sloppy at Progressive Field, committing six errors in the two games. When a bad team is sloppy in the field, they’ve got almost no chance of winning. Aaron Civale has a 10-3 team start record for Cleveland and will start Wednesday night. That TSR is very good. Only three pitchers in all of baseball have 11 team wins to their credit. Civale has been excellent in his last five starts as he’s 4-1 with a 2.83 ERA and only four walks. He struck out a season-best 11 batters last week vs. Seattle while allowing just one hit in eight scoreless innings. Keegan Akin goes for Baltimore. He did throw five scoreless innings vs. Cleveland in the previous series between the teams, a game the Orioles won 3-1. But it’s just too hard to trust him or his team right now. The O’s haven’t just lost 17 in a row on the road, they are 0-6 the L6 overall. They are 21-44 in the third game of a series after losing the first two. Play on CLEVELAND
