ASA TOP PLAY 10* ON UNDER the Total - Cleveland Indians vs Cincinnati Reds, Wednesday at 7:10 PM ET

The Indians have struggled to score runs all season. They show an average of 2.7 runs per game in their first 12 games but the reality is that it is even worse than that. Cleveland had a big game earlier this season in which they scored 9 runs. Other than that the Tribe have scored just 23 runs in their other 11 games. That is an average of 2.1 runs per game which is hard to believe. It won't get any easier for the slumping Indians bats here. That's because they are facing Tejay Antone of the Reds. The Cincinnati right-hander made his debut against a Cubs team that is currently in 1st place in the division and certainly a tough lineup to face. Antone shut them down with just 1 hit allowed over 4+ innings. The rookie right-hander also looked sharp in spring training and summer camp. Adding to his value in this spot is that the struggling lineup of the Indians (.183 batting average on season ranking dead last!) has never faced him. As for the Reds bats, they have also been quiet of late. Cincinnati has scored 15 runs in their last 5 games. Yes, two of those games were in a double-header and those are being played as just 7-inning games this season, but the fact is the Reds have a .213 batting average on the season which ranks them 23rd out of the 30 teams in the majors. Cincinnati will face a tough pitcher today as Mike Clevinger gets the start for the Indians. The Cleveland right-hander is coming off a rare tough start as he has been one of the most consistent hurlers in the game over the past 3 seasons compiling a 38-18 record with an ERA under the magical 3.00 mark! Also his tough outing in his last start was at Minnesota but now he is back home where he excelled in his first start this season plus went 5-1 with a 1.78 ERA last season. Per our computer math model, runs will be very tough to come by in this one. Bet the UNDER in Cleveland in early evening action Wednesday.
