For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this contest is Toronto on the "run line":
Jake Westbrook gets the nod for the visitors; Westbrook is coming off a loss as he allowed three runs on four hits, with two homers in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Yanks; he walked as well.
In eight starts vs. the Jays, Westrbook is 3-2 with a 4.54 ERA; he's 6-7 on the year with an unremarkable 4.65 ERA.
With last night's crushing defeat, remember that the Indians are just 1-6 their last seven overall; 5-14 their last 19 on the road.
In the other dugout: Brett Cecil heads to the mound for the home side; Cecil is coming off a strong outing; he pitched five scoreless frames against the Tigers on Sunday before giving up two runs in the sixth; he received a no decision in the end; he walked just one and struck out six.
He hasn't lost in July yet; he's 1-0 and has allowed just seven runs over his last 26 1/3 innings with 14 K's.
He's 8-5 on the year with a 3.89 ERA.
He's already dominated the Indians this year as well; he allowed just one run on one hit over eight innings with 10 K's.
Not only is Toronto 6-1 its last seven, its also 5-1 its last six at the Rogers Centre; also a perfect 1-0 (+1 unit) as a home favorite in the -175 to -200 range.
Bottom line: With trade rumors swirling around him, I expect Westbrook to be a bit distracted today; and that's bad news against this hot hitting Jays club; Westbrook is 0-2 with a 7.89 ERA in his last four outings on the road.
Toronto has scored 30 runs in its last four games, Cleveland has totaled 19 in the last nine.
A superior pitcher with the advantage of throwing at home, coupled with an extremely hot hitting team;
