Thanks to the Rockies for making me sweat the 9th inning, but they did pull through. Should have followed my other lean on RRS and the Mariners, but I passed.

Don't really love this card, but I do have one play I'm considering. Just a strong lean for now and likely to play it since I can't imagine sitting on the sidelines tonight.
Cleveland Indians ML and RL
Stumbled on a bizarre trend involving the Indians off a sweep. In the next game, they average 7 runs per game scoring at least 5 runs in all but one of these seven games. This one run occured in their last game following a sweep as they were handcuffed by Zack Greinke in a 2-1 loss. Prior to this game, their scores were 7, 9, 7, 5, 15, and 5. Now I don't think the Indians care that much at this point to get mad off a sweep and play their hearts out, but an interesting trend nonetheless.
I do, however, like the pitching matchup for the Indians tonight. Justin Masterson never got his shot at the rotation with the Red Sox, but now has the opportunity to solidify himself in the 2010 Cleveland Indians rotation. He really only has poor start since coming over to the Indians so it seems he is focused on keeping his name in the rotation discussions. On the other hand, Clayton Mortensen is really just filling a gap in the rotation and is coming off a 6 IP, 1 earned run performance against the Twins. I really like playing against unproven young starters off a solid performance and Mortensen fits that bill tonight. Throw in Oakland heading home after a long road trip and I'm liking the Indians to take Game 1 of this series.
Will come back later to finalize if I play it ..
