I have a very long and detailed explanation for this pick. Are you ready for it? This total is too high. That's it. That's the explanation.

The concern with this pick is I don't know too much about Angels starter Jose Suarez. He's only 21 with 5.2 MLB innings under his belt, and his career in the minors hasn't exactly been transcendent. Still, I like the Angels here as their offense has been hot as of late, and they're going against Wade LeBlanc who is nearly an auto-fade for me this season. LeBlanc has allowed 2.54 HR per 9 innings this season and has mostly been tossing batting practice. The Angels should tee off again this afternoon.

The Indians offense has started to display some power, if not efficiency as of late. As a team Cleveland has an OBP of only .288 over the last week, but it's slugging .532 in that span, so it's somewhat all-or-nothing. I'm banking on more nothing than all today, even against the Yankees Chad Green. Indians starter Shane Bieber has been very good this season, and I think he'll keep the Yankees offense under control, so this total is just a bit too high.

Everybody is familiar with Tampa's Blake Snell after he won the Cy Young last season, but Boston's Eduardo Rodriguez has flown a bit under the radar. He has an ERA of 4.88, but his xFIP of 3.75 is a lot more encouraging, and while he doesn't get a lot of strikeouts, he doesn't get hit hard, either. So the combination of him and Snell on the mound should make for a lower-scoring affair, and Boston being without JD Martinez and Andrew Benintendi is a bonus as well.
