Cleveland has won six in a row, but is getting no respect with this betting line, especially at home. Minnesota is in town with a bad offense, No. 25 in runs scored and No. 29 in slugging. Starter Mike Pelfrey (2-3, 7.66 ERA) has struggled mightily of late. Pelfrey's transition to the American League has been a difficult one. He has given up 19 earned runs in 17 innings over his last four starts and has seven strikeouts against seven walks on the season. In fact, after Saturday's showing, Minnesota's starters have a collective 5.01 ERA. The Indians have won six in a row by a combined margin of 53-14. Cleveland pounded out 12 hits, including five for extra bases in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Twins. The Indians are No. 6 in baseball in runs scored, tops in slugging and No. 5 in on-base percentage. Starter Corey Kluber (2-0, 2.25 ERA) has been great, walking none in 12 innings with 11 strikeouts, so grab the hot home team. Take the Indians.

0.5 unit on Cleveland -155 (moneyline) (risk 0.5 to return 0.5)
