Event / fixture:: Cleveland at Atlanta
Event date: Thu, 29 Aug 2013 at 9:10 AM
Market:: Head-to-head
Tip:: Cleveland Indians @ 2.02 (bet365)
Tip Result:: Loss
The 71-60 Cleveland Indians are 5-2 in their last 7 games and 4-2 in their last 6 on the road. Starting pitcher Justin Masterson has a 3.50 ERA with a 14-9 W/L record for the season. The Indians have won 5 of his last 7 starts.
The 79-52 Atlanta Braves are in strong form as well, going 5-1 in their last 6 at home and 4-2 in their last 6 against Cleveland, but I'm taking Cleveland for the value because the Atlanta has lost 7 of their last 9 games and all of their last 4 games when using starting pitcher Paul Maholm. Maholm has a season 4.51 ERA with a 9-10 W/L record but his ERA over his last 4 starts is 9.38.
This game features two good teams, but I'm taking the underdogs due to the superior pitching matchup.
