Pitchers with action NOT listed: #932 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Cleveland Guardians -135 over Chicago White Sox, Wednesday at 2:10 PM ET (Game 1 of Double Header) - Cleveland should be hungry for a win here after just getting swept at home by the red hot Giants (won 6 of their last 7 games). The Indians are undervalued right now with just a 4-5 record, yet they have the highest run differential in the American League at +11. They send Shane Bieber to the mound who has pitched 10 innings this year allowing just 4 hits and 3 ER with a WHIP of 0.70. Bieber’s ERA has been below 3.30 in 3 straight seasons with Cleveland and we rate him as their top starting pitcher. The White Sox, despite their 6-3 record, are hitting just .197 vs right handers this season and they’ve scored 3 or fewer runs in 5 of their last 6 games. Cleveland’s offense has been one of the best in the Majors ranking in the top 4 in runs scored, batting average, and OPS. The Guardians will face Dallas Keuchel who has been trending in the wrong direction since the start of last season. A year ago Keuchel had an ERA of 5.28 and allowed 248 base runners in just 162 innings pitched. He allowed 3 ER’s in 5 innings in his first start this season vs Seattle and struggled big time in spring training with the 4th highest ERA among starters. He faced Cleveland 3 times last season allowing 12 earned runs in just 16 innings of work. We like Cleveland in Game 1 of 2 at home on Wednesday
