Another road game for Cleveland, a team that has packed in another lost season riding a 3-11 run. The Indians are 10-30 in their last 40 games following a loss. The Royals are 6-1 in their last seven home games vs. a left-handed starter and face Cleveland southpaw David Huff, who has below average stuff. Huff made his first start of the season on Tuesday night against the Twins but did not last long. He has allowed three runs on seven hits over 4 1/3 innings of work. The Indians are 2-14 in Huff's last 16 road starts, 15-43 as a road underdog and 15-38 in their last 53 games against a righty starter. They face righty Jake Odorizzi, who they've never faced before because he's making his MLB debut. He's the Royals top pitching prospect going 15-5 with a 3.03 ERA over 26 games at Triple-A Omaha and Double-A Northwest Arkansas. The Royals have won four in a row and are 20-6 in their last 26 against the American League Central. And when these teams meet the Indians are 0-7 in the last seven meetings, including 0-5 in the last five meetings in Kansas City. Play the Royals.
