IMO Cleveland should be a slight favorite at worst.
This is from therx.... very well put imo:
If you took the name "Yankees" off of their uniforms and looked at the 162 game season results and compared, than the Indians would be a slight favorite on a NEUTRAL field. Throw in the fact they are home and have one of the 3 best pitchers in the A.L. on their side, than they should be favored.
I am not at all saying this one game couldn't be won by the Yankees but in NO WAY should they be favored on the road (42-39 on the road this year) against one of the best teams in baseball with their ace on the mound.
I just think people have to get over this whole Yankee thing. If you bet them blindly this year you would have lost close to 11 units, proving the whole overvalued thing. I just think Cleveland should be favored in this spot tonite.
If this is any indication of how they will price this series than I know what side I will be on, HEAVY!!!!
