Bet Tonight’s Indians vs. Nationals Game
CLEVELAND: Bettors have received mixed results when betting the Indians with Bauer on the mound. They’re 7-3 in Bauer’s last 10 interleague starts and are 4-1 in his last five outings when their opponent allows two runs or less in its previous game. But the Tribe is just 1-4 in Bauer’s last five starts overall and has dropped six of seven when he throws off five days of rest.
WASHINGTON: The Nationals have won four of Scherzer’s last five starts and are 9-4 in his last 13 outings after they allowed two runs or less in their previous game. But Washington is just 1-4 in his last five starts when he pitches the first game of a new series and for one reason or another, the Nats have dropped five of Scherzer’s last six starts when he pitches on Tuesday.
