The Cleveland Indians are coming off consecutive series victories over a pair of American League division leaders, the Minnesota Twins and NY Yankees. Cleveland was not able to sweep the Yankees on Sunday (lost 7-6) but its offense has come alive by scoring 37 runs in the last six games (6.17 per).

The Reds had scored two runs or less in five of six contests (1-5), before averting a three-game sweep with a 4-3 victory at NL East-leading Philadelphia on Sunday. These Ohio teams are a combined 15-6 following a day off this season, but my projections like the Indians at home, and for a great bounce-back spot for Trevor Bauer. Luis Castillo has been roughed up in two of his last three starts. Take the INDIANS here at home.
