Kansas City at Cleveland

Huge line in game one of this double-header but for a reason. KC is off a surprise sweep of the Red Sox winning as dogs of +145, +180 and +210. But that was at home. KC is not awful at home. They went on the road last night to Cleveland and lost again. They played admirably but in the end, this team struggles to put up the W's (now 15-41 on the road). They score 3.87 per game and allow 6 runs per game away from home. Cleveland scores 5.6 per game at home and the starting pitching matchup favors Cleveland huge. CC Sabathia has a 3.43 ERA (2.05 over his last three starts) while Odalis Perez has a 9.83 road ERA (8.78 over his last three). Perez goes an average of 4.7 innings per start so look for KC's awful bullpen to get an early appearance. This bullpen has a 6-12 road record with a 5.62 ERA. KC's recent success is actually a reason to fade them. They are 2-28 on the road following a three game span in which they won two games. CC and the Tribe here.
