Best Bullpens
San Francisco Giants - At 7-9, the Giants bullpen Earned Run Average is the best in the league at 1.86. The UNDER has gone 10-5-2 so far this season.
Cleveland Indians - They just lost three straight to a Kansas City team that had gone ten consecutive games without a victory before the Indians came to town. The problem during this span has been with the starting pitchers.
For example, Carlos Carrasco yielded six earned runs in the first inning of Friday's game against KC.
On Sunday, the Royals roughed up two-time Cy Young Award winner Corey Kluber, who allowed 11 of his 18 batters to reach base safely. He gave up six runs, six hits and a career-most five walks in just 2 2/3 innings. The five walks doubled Kluber's season total -- he didn't walk more than three batters in any game in 2018.
Los Angeles Angels - The relievers have an ERA of 2.08. The UNDER is 12-3 in Angels games so far this season.
