Cleveland -166
Cleveland RL
Cleveland F5(-120) All in on the Tribe. I follow Seattle closely, and the pitching matchup tonight, including the bullpens, favors Cleveland heavily. King Felix is just not the same pitcher now that his fastball has dipped in velocity. He has great off-speed stuff, but still challenges(too much) with the fastball. He often struggles early in games so really like the F5 play. Felix got injured early in ST, and then sat out until a 3 inning stint at the end. Kluber has been dominant since last May, and has been lights out this spring. His off-speed stuff has become deadly, and his command of the zone is "on". Also a nod to a strong Indian bullpen. The M's have some decent late innings guys, but middle to the 7th, they're mediocre.
Also, Nelson Cruz is still working his way into game form. Otherwise, both teams have some hitters who can do some damage, but the pitching matchup rules here for me.
