Event / fixture:: Tampa Bay at Cleveland
Event date: Sat, 1 Jun 2013 at 9:05 AM
Market:: Head-to-head
Tip:: Tampa Bay Rays @ 1.84 (William Hill)
Tip Result:: Win
The 29-24 Tampa Bay Rays come into Cleveland on a 5-0 streak. They are 7-2 in their last 9 on the road and 4-2 in their last 6 in Cleveland. Starting pitcher Matt Moore has an 8-0 W/L record for the season with a 2.21 ERA. In his previous start against Cleveland the Rays shut out the Indians 4-0.
The 29-24 Cleveland Indians share an identical W/L record with the Rays but bring poorer form into this contest, going 2-5 in their last 7. The main reason I'm taking the Rays, though, is because of the starting pitcher for Cleveland. Corey Kluber will take the mound with a 2-3 W/L record for the season and a 4.57 ERA. He really struggles at home with a 0-2 W/L record, 4.85 ERA and 1.54 WHIP at Progressive Field this season with Cleveland going 1-9 in his last 10 home starts.
Based on the pitching lineup I'm taking Tampa Bay.
