The Indians-Rays betting line had Cleveland at -140 and Tampa Bay at -130.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Indians RH Danny Salazar (1-0, 1.69 ERA) vs. Rays RH Chris Archer (0-2, 7.20)
Salazar held the White Sox to just one run and two hits with seven strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings in his first start of the season and gave up one earned run in 7 2/3 innings to win at Tampa Bay last June.
Archer’s woes could continue as he is just 0-3 with a 5.40 ERA in three career starts against Cleveland.
Neither of the last two games of this series has gone OVER the current total of 7 and expect the same here with Salazar having pitched solid against the Rays previously and Archer desperate for a win pitching at home.
