Today's free play from Bob Harvey Sports
Take # 914 Cleveland Indians RL –111 over Kansas City Royals. (Thursday, August 21st, 12:05 pm EST).
There has been no player more valuable to his team than the Indians Cliff Lee. Cleveland has won 58 games this season and Lee has accounted for almost 30% of them with his 17 victories. This afternoon he looks for his seventh straight win as the Indians go for a three-game sweep of the Royals.
In addition to his 17-2 record he has an ERA of 2.43. Lee is the AL leader in wins, winning percentage, ERA and has allowed two or fewer runs in 18 of his 24 starts. He’s 6-0 with a 2.42 ERA in his last seven starts, and is coming off his third complete game, a victory over the Angels last week.
Lee’s only shutout of the year came against the Royals in April. The lefty also beat Kansas City in May to improve to 9-4 lifetime vs. KC. He’s also unbeaten at home going 7-0 at Progressive Field this season with a 2.38 ERA in ten starts.
The Indians are going for their first home sweep of an opponent since winning four straight against Tampa Bay immediately before the All-Star break. Since the beginning of that series, Cleveland is 21-14 overall.
As has happened in years gone by, Kansas City is struggling in the second half of the season and headed perhaps to another last place finish. The Royals have dropped four straight and 11 of 13 falling behind the Indians into the basement of the AL central where they’ve resided the past four seasons.
Zach Greinke will toe the rubber looking to turn things around for the Royals but he’s just 2-4 in his last nine starts having allowed at least five runs in four of those five outings. He’s also just 3-6 lifetime vs. the Tribe.
