Cleveland at Oakland

Cleveland plays its third straight contest on the West Coast. The Indians are 5-4 over the last nine games, losing three times as a favorite, including as -143 and -275. One of those was yesterday, getting blown out 9-1. The offense has scored just two runs in the two games in Oakland, a big park, which is tough on hitters. Cleveland goes with righty Trevor Bauer and the team is 3-8 when Bauer is on the road against a team with a losing record. Cleveland is on a 3-7 run on the road and faces an Oakland squad playing its third straight home game. The Athletics have Kendall Graveman (9-8) on the hill, off his first career shutout, a two-hitter against the White Sox at Chicago in which he struck out five without issuing a walk. He has walked just six batters in 56+ innings over his last eight outings. The Athletics are 10-3 when Graveman starts, so grab the live home dog again and play Oakland.
