The Cleveland Indians have been living large. They have pulled out three dramatic wins in their last four games, all extra inning affairs, including last night in their series opener in Baltimore. The one thing the dramatic wins have done is tax their bullpen. That could spell trouble as rookie T.J. House will make his first start of the season for the Tribe. Bud Norris has improved his ERA on the season to 3.58 with three of his last four starts allowing 2 or fewer runs against him. Cleveland has stumbled vs. winning teams where they own a 10-27 record in their last 37 against them. Baltimore is wearing short chalk well at home where they are an impressive 40-19 in their last 59 as a home favorite of -110 to -150. Rookie starter, over-worked pen, spells doom for the visitor here, so play on Baltimore.
