This is a 10* play on KC@CLE to go OVER the total.

The Cleveland Indians have now lost five in a row after a 9-4 defeat at home to the Royals last night. I think there's a good chance we see another slugfest in Game 2.

Chris Young will toe the rubber for the Royals, and he's really struggled with his command lately. Young (8-6, 3.32 ERA) allowed four runs on five hits, including a pair of home runs in just three innings in a loss to St. Louis his last time out. He's given up seven home runs in his last four starts, and he's walked eight batters in those games.

The Indians hand the ball to Trevor Bauer, who has been inconsistent all year. Bauer (8-7, 4.29 ERA) gave up six runs on six hits with three home runs over six innings in a home loss to Chicago his last time out. He's surrendered five home runs and four walks in his last two appearances.

Bauer has really struggled at home, going 3-4 with a 6.16 ERA in 10 starts.

Take OVER.
