Toronto is a great hitter's park, and a strong Cleveland offense is in town. The Tribe is fifth in baseball during the regular season in runs scored, eighth in on-base percentage, and ninth in slugging. There is no pressure on the Indians, up 2-0 in the series while riding an eight-game win streak, allowing 15 total runs. Their bullpen is outstanding, shutting down Boston and Toronto the last five games, two of the best offenses in the game. The Indians are 20-7 following an off day, giving the great bullpen more time to rest. Toronto pounded out 22 runs in their three-game sweep of Texas in the ALDS, but has managed one run in two contests against the Indians' staff. The Blue Jays turn to Marcus Stroman, who has allowed more hits than innings pitched. He finished the regular season with a 4.37 ERA and 1.29 WHIP, along with a 4.59 ERA at home. The talented, balanced, and confident Indians have more than enough to steal a road win or loss by one run. Play Cleveland on the runline.
