#978 ASA TOP PLAY ON Cleveland Indians -140 over Cincinnati Reds, Friday at 7:10 PM ET - The Indians have won 5 straight games and have the home field edge here. The Reds are 4-8 in road games this season. Cleveland has a 2.54 bullpen ERA to rank 2nd in the majors. Cincinnati has a 5.59 bullpen ERA to rank 2nd to LAST in the majors! The Reds do hit well at home but their bats do not travel well. Cincinnati is hitting .202 on the season in road games and that ranks dead LAST in the majors! Wade Miley gets the start for the Reds here and has a low ERA this season but struggled (again!) against the Indians earlier this season. Miley is 1-4 with a 4.95 ERA in his 8 career starts versus Cleveland. The Indians start Zach Plesac in this one and he appears to have turned the corner after a tough start to the season. His recent positive trending is no fluke as it has corresponded with an uptick in velocity. Plesac appears healthy again and back on track and throwing like we are use to seeing him throw. Plesac allowed 3 earned runs on 8 hits in 13 and 1 / 3 innings over his last two starts. He is 7-3 in home games in his career and was solid in 2 of his 3 home starts this season plus compiled a 2.08 ERA in his 3 home starts in last year's shortened season. With the home/road variance making this a strong play on Plesac and a strong play against the Reds plus the added bulpen edge as well, this spot makes the hosts well worth an investment. We will grab the home team at a very reasonable price on the money line in this one and bet CLEVELAND -140
