Money Line: -134.00 NY Yankees (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 1* Free Play on the New York Yankees.

After getting shutout yesterday, I think the home side bounces back today in the finale. The Tribe will start Carlos Carrasco (3-4, 3.88) who is certainly not Corey Kluber; Carrasco makes his fifth start of the season and first since April 25th. Note that Carrasco struggled in a starting role in 2013, going 0-3 with a 6.95 ERA before getting moved to the bullpen. Carrasco's last two starts against New York didn't go well either, as he gave up 13 runs in 7 2/3 innings to lose both (the most recent was a 14-1 home destruction April 9th, 2013). The Yankees will counter with their most consistent starter in Hiroki Kuroda (7-7, 3.97 ERA); Kuroda has pitched seven innings of three-run ball in each of his last two starts but has suffered from a lack of offensive support, getting five total runs while going 0-1; note that against the Indians, the right-hander is 2-1 with a solid 3.10 ERA though. Despite the loss to Cleveland yesterday, the Yankees have been dominant in this series and note that the Indians have struggled on the road all season with a 24-37 record; all signs point to a comfortable home victory.
