10* GUARDIANS RUNLINE (ASSASSIN)

Playing against Justin Verlander here. He's 14-3 with a 1.81 ERA. Over his last 6 starts he's gone 6-0 with a 0.86 ERA. And this is after Tommy John surgery! Unbelievable, considering many thought his career was coming to an end when he was still in Detroit. At some point regression is going to set in though. And now Verlander faces a Cleveland team that's been playing much better of late, winning three of its last four, including a 7-4 victory at home over Arizona yesterday. Verlander is a pedestrian 21-24 with a 4.61 ERA in 53 career starts vs. Cleveland. The surging Guardians now sit only one game behind the Twins for the AL Central lead. Zach Plesac has had difficulty with Houston in the past, but with Verlander on the mound, I expect him to elevate his game here and match his counterpart inning for inning. Plesac is 2-9 with a 4.33 ERA this season, but owns a more respectable 3.05 ERA at home, compared to 5.33 on the road. In a contest that I see being decided late, or even in extras, I'm grabbing the hungry home side on the runline option!
