Result:
LOSS

This is a classic contrarian play. Cleveland has lost six on a row while Seattle has won six straight. King Felix is on a tear, but the last time he faced this Indians lineup, he gave up 8 runs in less than four innings. Sure, this is a tall task for Cleveland, but these games that seem too easy over the long haul are anything but. Playing against huge public favorites like Seattle here long term nets a hefty profit. Will Cleveland win this game? Probably not. But long term, going against the public in MLB will yield a very high return. With over 80% of the bets coming in on the Mariners here, I'm siding with the sportsbooks and taking Cleveland at nearly 2-to-1 odds.
