0-1, -2.16 units. Teheran and the Braves did their job, but dang did the Braves' hitters make Gallardo look better than he is. The Braves are streaky so they could have a rough April. Too early to say.
Cleveland +130. One unit. The Indians were ripping the ball in the last week or so of spring training. Tonight Sonny Gray just shut them down, but I guess that's why he was picked for opening day. Kazmir looked pretty good too in spring training, but I expect we'll see the Tribe have more success here. The Indians were #1 last year in the AL vs. LHP in BAA and OPS. They also know their former teammate, Kazmir, pretty well too- and and chose not to re-sign him. Or lowballed him? Corey Kluber has great late movement on his pitches, good control and is a competitor. Oakland is usually a slow starting team at the beginning of the year. Then come on later.
