The Indians have playing well as of late and I look for that to continue in this game. I have no confidence backing the Rangers here.
Cleveland is a better team and I think they will take care of business in this one. There is no excuse for them to lose to the Rangers.
Plesac is the better pitcher and I look for him to pitch better than Howard here.
I like the Indians on the moneyline in this one.
