Boston figures to rest some of its starters after clinching the AL East title with its victory over the Yankees on Thursday night. Chris Sale will start and is expected to pitch four or five innings as the Red Sox want to keep him healthy for the playoffs. Cleveland will start Trevor Bauer for the first time since August as he is coming off the disabled list. Bauer will also pitch just a few innings and then Shane Bieber, who normally is a starter, is expected to come in to relieve Bauer. Cleveland actually has won 11 of the last 15 meetings at Progressive Field and the Indians already have celebrated winning their division last Saturday. Cleveland has been a strong home team all season with a 47-31 record and it's getting good line value in this matchup. Take the Indians.
