Houston at Cleveland

The defending Champion Houston Astros made a statement last night in Cleveland as they put it to the Tribe's ace Corey Kluber in an 11-2 road win. Cleveland was expected to be in the hunt for the AL crown again this season, but as we approach the 1/3 mark in the season, the Tribe has struggled to a losing record, entering at 24-25 on the season. Cleveland has had trouble at the plate and on the mound of late, having been out-scored 19-5 over their last three. Houston is now 34-16 has found their mojo, winners of eight of their last nine, and the pitching has been outstanding. The Tribe has allowed fewer than two runs per game over the stretch, and with Cleveland struggling at the plate I will go with Houston in this one. Take the Astros.
