(MLB) NY Yankees vs. Cleveland, 08/11/2015 3:10 PM, Score: 4 - 5
Money Line: 114.00 NY Yankees (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the New York Yankees.

The Yankees have seen their lead at the top of the AL East shrink to just 1.5 games ahead of the surging Toronto Blue Jays. New York will begin a new series in Cleveland on Tuesday, and the Indians have been brutal at home all year. They are coming off back to back home wins over Minnesota, but had lost nine of their previous 10 at Progressive Field.

Luis Severino will toe the slab for the Bronx Bombers, and he was impressive in his major league debut against Boston. The rookie went five innings, allowing a pair of runs on two hits while striking out seven.

The Tribe will hand the ball to Carlos Carrasco, who has been lit up at home. Carrasco (11-8, 3.76 ERA) is coming off back to back complete games, surrendering one run on just three hits in 18 innings. Both of those victories came on the road, and he's 4-6 with a 5.37 ERA at home this season.

The Indians are 7-20 in Carrasco's last 27 home starts, and the Yankees have won 28 of the last 40 meetings between the two teams.

Take NYY.
