At 1:10 ET, in Game 1 of today's DH, my selection is on Cleveland Run-Line. Yesterday's postponement means that Ben Lively goes today instead. Lively is 10-6 with a 3.42 ERA this season. He's 2-0 his last 2 starts, beating top teams in Baltimore and Philadelphia. Pfaadt had a good run but he now has a 6.55 ERA his last 2 starts. Having an extra +1.5 runs is never a bad option when Lively is on the mound. Check this out. The Guardians lost 2-0 in Lively's first start this season. Since then, they are 12-6 when he pitches. A closer examination reveals that 5 of the 6 losses came by 1 run. (The other was a 2-0 score.) Let's put that another way. If you backed the Guardians at +1.5 runs in each of Lively's last 18 starts, you would be 17-1.
