Kansas City at Cleveland

Two struggling teams meet tonight and Zach Plesac will start for the first time since May 23 for Cleveland as he returns from the injury list. Plesac had pitched well at home this season with a 3.45 ERA and .198 opponent batting average. His counterpart, Danny Duffy pitched four innings against Minnesota on Saturday in a 6-3 win, but he has been inconsistent and pitched in several games for only a few innings. The Indians have beaten the Royals five times in a row, including a four-game sweep in early May. Kansas City is 18-43 its past 61 games as a road underdog and the Indians are 40-18 as home favorites. The Royals 6-18 their past 24 games versus right-handed starters. Take the Indians.
