Cleveland Indians
After losing the first game of the series, and with them down a run in the 7th inning of Saturday’s game at the time of this article, a win on Sunday is important as the Indians try to keep pace with the first place Minnesota Twins. To try to stop the bleeding will be Jefry Rodriguez, who comes in with a 0-2 record with a 2.41 ERA and 12 strikeouts on the year.

Despite his losing record, Rodriguez has become a very reliable arm for manager Terry Francona, who has seen his rotation get battered more than he would like this year. Pitching is key to this team, as they are having a hard time scoring runs this year, and have the worst run total for any second place team in the league, averaging just 3.56 runs per game, while giving up 3.83 runs per game.
Oakland Athletics
A series win against a winning ballclub like the Cleveland Indians might be just what the doctor ordered for the A’s. They currently sit in last in the AL West, and will send out Daniel Mengden on Sunday to try to wrap up the series. This will be Mengden’s first start of the year. He comes into Sunday with a lifetime record of 12-17 with a 4.64 ERA.

Scoring runs doesn’t seem to be the problem in Oakland as much as getting unlucky does. This team made the playoffs last year, and many thought they would contend in the West once again this year, but so far, they aren’t having much success. They come into Sunday averaging 4.5 runs per game, while they are giving up an average of 4.65 runs per game.

Free Cleveland Indians vs. Oakland Athletics MLB Prediction:
Oakland will be going for the series win on Sunday, as their pitching has quieted the Indians bats through the first two games of the series. Cleveland can’t afford to get swept in this one, as the lead in the Central on Saturday was 4 games, but if they can’t score more than three runs in a game in this ballpark, they can’t expect to win the game.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: UNDER the Number
Take Oakland to win this game at home and take the series win into next week when they can get some real momentum going against the likes of Seattle and Detroit before they hit the road to take on Cleveland once again.
