Cleveland Indians ML +137 (10 Units)
The public is going to jump all over the Blue Jays and their ace Shawn Marcum in this game with the ignorant perception that 'the Blue Jays won't be swept in Cleveland'. Well the last time I checked the same people would have never bet on Kerry Wood converting three straight saves in three straight nights and right now the Indians have won four straight games and are probably playing their best baseball of the season which is not saying much. Toronto is in some kind of funk right now and we've seen this song before. They always seem to play horrendous baseball in a series leading up to a trip to New York or Boston (they have the Yankees starting tomorrow) and Shawn Marcum has never beat the Indians. Marcum is 0-2 lifetime against Cleveland in four career starts and he has allowed 12 ER's in his last three road starts this season. Justin Masterson is not having the greatest of seasons but he is making his first career start against the Blue Jays and judging by other home starts against AL East teams, this could be one of his best. Masterson pitched a Complete Game two hit shutout at home against Boston on June 2 and I remember in April of 2009 he started home games against both Baltimore and the New York Yankees and won both while allowing only 2 ER's in both games combined. The Blue Jays have only 6 runs in this series in three games and they are batting .221 in their last 10 games overall. This is a great time to keep backing an Indians team that is playing with tons of confidence.
Trend of the Game: Toronto is 0-5 in their last five games as a favorite
Cleveland 5, Toronto 1
