This is a tough spot for Cleveland, a team that has yet to play a home game, opening the season on the West Coast. They've allowed 23 runs the last four games. The Indians are favored with stopper Corey Kluber, but he has a 4.31 ERA in five career starts versus the Angels. And this L.A. Angels offense is loaded, scoring 35 runs in five games, including a 13-2 beatdown of the Indians yesterday. The Angels are 7-3 at home against losing teams. Starter Tyler Skaggs opened the year on a strong note, tossing 6+ scoreless innings with no walks and five strikeouts in a 2-1 victory over Oakland. The Angels are also 7-2 when Skaggs is at home against a team with a losing record, so jump on the home dog that is playing well. Play the L.A. Angels.
