Cleveland at Baltimore

The Cleveland Indians are living large right now, sweeping the hot Detroit Tigers in three straight games, culminating with a 13 run slugfest that came to an end as Al Alberquerque balked in the winning run. Right-hander Travis Banwart, who is 3-0 with a 3.35 ERA in eight starts at Triple-A Columbus, will likely get the nod for Cleveland tonight to open their series in Baltimore. The Tribe's bats are booming right now, and David Murphy and Michael Brantley are red-hot with both carrying seven game hitting streaks into this contest. Both are also hitting well over .400 during the stretch. The Tribe has been a momentum team when the offense gets going, as they are 24-11 in their last 35 games after scoring 5+ in their previous game. Baltimore has lost four straight at home, dropping them to below .500 on their home diamond for the season. Make the play on Cleveland.
