CLEVELAND @ DETROIT | 08/13 | 7:10 PM EDT
CLEVELAND -115
ANALYSIS: This is a unique situation with Cleveland being the first team since at least 2004 to be a road favorite after losing by more than 15 runs at home in its last game (Indians lost 17-0 to Oakland on Thursday). The confidence oddsmakers are showing in Cleveland here is warranted. The Indians give the ball to top (healthy) starter in Zach Plesac. The Tribe won in Plesac’s last start Sunday, also against Detroit. The Indians are 7-0 since July 16, 2019, when Plesac starts as a favorite when they won in his last start as well as his last start against this opponent.
