MLB: Tuesday's play

Play: Cleveland/Kansas City under 8 -121 (Salazar vs. Vargas)

Time: 8:10 p.m. ET

Reasoning: Danny Salazar is unbeaten in three starts. He has a 3.32 ERA and has struck out 28 in 19 innings. Here he will not have to face Lorenzo Cain, the Royals' top hitter, because of Cain's suspension. Visiting Kansas City beat Cleveland on April 27 after Jason Vargas allowed just two runs over five innings despite walking five. The Royals, whose bullpen has a 1.00 ERA, should be even better with closer Greg Holland (strained pectoral muscle) back in the fold (he's expected to be activated on Tuesday). The Indians bullpen has a 0.87 ERA over its last five games. Cleveland also scores a half-run less per game vs. LH.

Record: 354-266-12 (57.1%)
Bankroll: +333.48%
