Game Notes

We like the UNDER 6.5 here. Both pitchers have shown they can lock it down when pitching in “big games”. Sure, everyone has an off day where they get nuked. And, it could happen here of course. But, after evaluating the sides the total felt like the best bet. Here are some stats/trends which support our play:

Cubs
– UNDER is 10-3 in the Cubs last 13 games against a starter with a WHIP of less than 1.15
– UNDER is 4-1 in the Cubs last five interleague road games

Indians
– UNDER is 7-0 in each of the Indians’ seven Postseason games
– UNDER is 6-1 in Kluber’s last seven home starts against a team with a winning record

Umpire – Larry Vanover
– UNDER is 20-10 (66.7%)
