Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach MLB Wednesday Early Free Pick UNDER the total in Cleveland Indians vs Tampa Bay Rays @ 12:10 ET - Everyone has jumped all over the over in this match-up and I can understand that based on the expected weather today in Cleveland. Very warm temperatures with the wind blowing out toward right-center is expected for this game. However, did the bettors that are pounding the over here bother to check this pitching match-up before coming in so strong on the over in this one? The fact is that the Rays Alex Cobb and the Indians Josh Tomlin are both in fine current form. Cobb has allowed just 12 hits in his 20 and 1/3 innings spanning his 3 starts so far in May. Also, Cobb has a stellar 2.76 ERA in his 5 career starts versus the Tribe. As for Tomlin, he has allowed just 2 earned runs on only 9 hits in the 15 innings spanning his last two starts. His ERA on the season does not impress but Tomlin is a solid hurler and he's rounding back into top form. When Tomlin faced the Rays last season he allowed only 5 hits in 7 innings and that outing was here in Cleveland as well. The very first totals that were posted on this game were 8.5 and now it's all the way up to a 9.5 with plus money available on the under. We could even end up seeing some 10's on this game but, either way, it is a strong value with the under. The under is 13-5 in the Indians last 18 games and the under is also 8-3 this season in Indians day games. Free Pick on UNDER the total in Cleveland very EARLY Wednesday afternoon. Best of luck, Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach
