MLB: Tuesday's early plays

Play: Boston +108 (Peavy vs. action)

Time: 7:05 p.m. ET

Reasoning: Cleveland has won just four of the last 15 meetings with the Red Sox. Boston took six of seven meetings in 2013. Jake Peavy is 5-3 with a 3.93 ERA in 11 career starts against the Indians and he is 4-0 with a 2.89 ERA in his last five starts against them. Left-handers are hitting .368 against T.J. House. Boston's bullpen is about a half-run better than Cleveland's, and Red Sox relievers have a 0.73 ERA in the last five games.




Play: Seattle +1.5 -155 (Ramirez vs. Floyd)

Time: 7:10 p.m. ET

Reasoning: The Mariners would be 37-20 if they were given 1.5 runs per game and the Braves would be 18-38 if they gave 1.5 rpg. Gavin Floyd hasn't won a game since 2012 and he is 4-4 with a 4.73 ERA lifetime against Seattle. The Braves have never seen Erasmo Ramirez. The Mariners have won three straight and Kyle Seager (10-for-21) and Michael Saunders (19-for-52) have been hot of late. And of Robinson Cano's six career hits against Floyd, three of them were homers. Atlanta is hitting 51 points lower and is scoring nearly two fewer runs per game vs. RH.



Play: Tampa Bay -117 (Archer vs. action)

Time: 7:10 p.m. ET

Reasoning: Chris Archer has a 1.02 ERA in his last three starts. Miami has never seen him and he has a 3.68 ERA in three career appearances in interleague play. Henderson Alvarez left his last start early because of elbow stiffness. He hasn't won any of his last four outings and is 0-5 with a 6.28 ERA lifetime against the Rays. Ben Zobrist is 10-for-22 in six games at Marlins Park. In the last five games Tampa Bay relievers have a 2.51 ERA and Miami relievers have a 5.40 ERA.





Record: 91-58-5 (61.1%)
Bankroll: +117.64%
