The Indians don't win much on the road. When they have managed to win one on the road and have to come back again the next night, they are just 8-19. Asking them to cover a -1.5 runline on the road makes that situation pretty undesireable. The Royals have done a very good job at home as they are 13-10 in their last 23 here and 16-7 if facing the +1.5 runline. The Tribe is just 10-25 in Masterson's last 35 starts and on the road with a total from 9-10.5 they are a brutal 14-37. Asking them to win isn't pretty, but asking them to win by 2 is ugly. The Tribe also 41-19-3 to the UNDER following a win and 38-18-2 overall to the UNDER in their last 58. The Royals are playing better at home and can, at the very least, stay close here to cash the runline. I like both Kansas City on the runline, as well as the UNDER in this one.
