MLB Betting Picks – Indians Look To Complete Sweep of KC Royals
April 28, 2011
The Cleveland Indians responded to their 1-2 SU series result when they met Kansas City just two weeks ago by cracking out the brooms this week in MLB betting picks. By outscoring the Royals 16-6 in just two games so far, the Cleveland Indians can stomp their unruly visitors in to the ground and send a message to the rest of the division. The tightly packed AL Central needs to take this Indians team very seriously.
I know that it’s April, and while Cleveland remains a longshot to go the distance and make the playoffs, there are lots of encouraging signs. First off, they’re a stiff 5-0 SU in their last 5 games at home, while ranking third in overall defense with just 3.7 runs allowed. Their home offense is the best in the American League with 6.2 runs per game.
Kansas City Royals (12-12) vs. Cleveland Indians (15-8)
Thursday, April 28 — Progressive Field — 7:05pm EST
MLB Betting Lines:
KC – Kyle Davies (R) +1.5 -145 / +140 / O 8.5 -125
CLE – Fausto Carmona (R) -1.5 +125 / -160 / U 8.5 +105
Making matters a tad wobbly for the MLB betting investors out there is that Fausto Carmona is taking to the stripe. Carmona has been especially vulnerable this season, basically giving up a pitch-per-inning while also chopping in 20 runs against. His bloated 5.76 ERA and 1.35 WHIP aren’t exactly enticing.
Carmona’s presence isn’t nearly as nerve wracking as Kyle Davies, his pitching counterpart tonight for the Royals. Davies has gone just 1-2 SU this season with a 6.23 ERA in five starts. He’s allowed a brutal 34 chips in 26.0 innings which have led to 19 runs. Against a hot home team like the Indians, Davies isn’t exactly the guy you want on the dirt hill.
Where to Watch: FSKC, STO
It’s been nearly fifteen years since the Indians have won ten straight home games. Their sudden turnaround in MLB betting picks could steady out later in the year, or it could be a sign of things to come. Either way, fans in Cleveland are enjoying the show for now, which will be highlighted by a series sweep of the dismal Royals.
