Wednesday MLB Free Pick
(The Spread) – The Indians and Royals have been the two biggest surprises of this young MLB season. The clubs will meet tonight at 8:10PM ET.
Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made the Indians –105 on the money line for Wednesday, while the Royals are –101. The over/under total for this game is currently 8.5 runs.
The Indians come into tonight’s game with a 12-5 overall record and a 5-3 mark on the road. The Royals are 11-6 overall and 8-4 at home, and will send Luke Hochevar to the mound against Justin Masterson.
Game 1 of this four-game series went to the Tribe, which won 7-3 as a –111 money line favorite. The Royals came back in Game 2 and beat Cleveland 5-4 as a –119 money line favorite last night behind Bruce Chen’s (7.0 IP, 6 hits, 2 runs, 3 BBs, 5 Ks) solid performance.
MLB Free Pick: Masterson has been nearly unhittable this season. Opponents are hitting just .025 against him and he’s only walked four batters in 20 1/3 innings. He held Baltimore to just one run in seven innings in his last victory and at –105 on the money line, Cleveland is a value tonight with him on the mound. Granted, Hochevar has won his last two starts but Shin-Soo Choo has hit him well over the years, going 11-for-17 with three doubles, three homers and eight RBIS lifetime against the Kansas City starter. According to latest MLB trends, the Indians are 11-1 in their last 12 games as a favorite and 5-1 in their last six games as a road favorite. Take Cleveland.
