Monday's MLB plays

Play: Cleveland -108 (action vs. Kluber)

Time: 7:05 p.m. ET

Reasoning: Detroit is tough but the Indians have Corey Kluber going tonight and he has been on a roll. In his last three starts, Kluber has allowed just five runs in 21.2 IP and has struck out 31. He has 66 Ks in 58.2 IP this season. The Tigers answer with Drew Smyly, who has pitched very well in 2014, but he is 1-1 with a 5.09 ERA in 11 career appearances against the Tribe. Detroit's bullpen has a 4.18 ERA compared to Cleveland's 3.36 ERA overall and 2.92 ERA at home. The Tigers also played last night in Boston and reportedly didn't get to their hotel in Cleveland until 3 this morning because of plane issues.



Play: Milwaukee/Atlanta over 6.5 -120 (Peralta vs. Minor)

Time: 7:10 p.m. ET

Reasoning: These teams combine for an average of 7.06 runs per game and 7.48 rpg in the home/away splits. Brewers road games average 8.70 runs. Braves pitcher Mike Minor has a 4.24 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP. Milwaukee's bullpen has a 3.41 ERA on the road and Atlanta relievers have a 4.02 ERA in their last five games. The Brewers also will have Carlos Gomez in the lineup.



Record: 83-49-5 (62.9%)
Bankroll: +128.37%
