Cleveland Indians
The Indians march into this Monday night pairing sporting a 43-33 record that ranks them 1st in the AL Central. That record gives them the lead in the division by a total of 8-games, giving them quite a comfy lead indeed. The Detroit Tigers are their nearest threat. But considering that Cleveland just swept them in a 3-game series, it’s safe to say there not much of a threat. That 3-game stretch marked the Indian’s 7th consecutive victory, which they bring into tonight’s matchup. No doubt the Indians will be vying to keep that win streak alive on the road. By the looks of it, tonight’s online baseball betting odds are taking Cleveland. To help get the win, the Indians will be sending Mike Clevinger to the mound. Clevinger is 6-2 on the season with a 3.00 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP.
Players to Watch: Michael Brantley (44 RBI, 11 HR, .316 BA), Francisco Lindor (44 RBI, 19 HR, .296 BA), and Jose Ramirez (23 HR, 52 RBI, .296 BA).
St. Louis Cardinals
The Cards fly into this inter-conference pairing flashing a 40-36 record that ranks them 3rd in the NL Central. Currently 4 ½ games behind the division-leading Milwaukee Brewers, the Cardinals still got a shot at the lead in the division. However, they’ll need a lengthy win streak to land them there. Considering that they’re 2-3 in their last 5, they’ll also need a bit of rebound to get them there. John Gant will get the start for St. Louis this evening. Gant is 1-2 on the season with a 4.3.9 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP.
Players to Watch: Jose Martinez (11 HR, 47 RBI, .300 BA), Marcell Ozuna (10 HR, 42 RBI, .284 BA), and Yadier Molina (11 HR, 31 RBI, .270 BA).
