MLB: Sunday's play

Play: Detroit/Cleveland under 8.5 -105 (Lobstein vs. House)

Time: 1:10 p.m. ET

Reasoning: Kyle Lobstein likely isn't the next Justin Verlander (the man Lobstein is replacing in the rotation on Sunday), but he showed flashes of brilliance as a rookie last season. Lobstein allowed two runs or fewer in four of his six starts in 2014. Indians starter T.J. House went 4-1 with a 2.25 ERA in his final nine starts last year and went 3-0 with a 2.14 ERA and a 6-to-1 strikeouts-to-walks ratio at home. Michael Brantley (back) likely won't play and Victor Martinez (leg) is questionable. Both squads have struggled mightily against left-handers.

Record: 338-256-12 (56.9%)
Bankroll: +279.73%
