Afternoon Annihilation - Rickenbach MLB Rotation #923 Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER the total in Cleveland Indians vs Chicago Cubs @ 1:10 ET - Kyle Davies is off a strong start but it came against a bad Pirates team plus he only struck out 1 in that outing. In other words, the Indians bats will be putting the ball in play here against Davies and he lasted no more than 4 innings in any of his 4 starts that preceded the start versus Pittsburgh. He has a 6.28 ERA on the season and this total dropped from a 9 to an 8 which is offering us significant line value here. Sam Hentges is making his first ever MLB start and though he has "only" a 5.00 ERA so far this season, the Indians lefty has been fortunate the damage has not been worse! Hentges has allowed 4 homers in just 9 innings of work and, overall, opponents are hitting .350 against him. I know yesterday's game was a tight 3-2 final but, keep this in mind, the Indians entered that game having scored at least 4 runs in 6 of last 7 games and, in fact, averaged 6.3 runs per game in those 6 games. The Cubs entered yesterday's game having won 7 of 10 games and scoring an average of 5.8 runs per game in those 10 games. This total, particularly after the downward move, should prove to be far too low. 10* OVER the total in Cleveland
