Cleveland Indians minus-130 vs. Boston Red Sox: $650 to win $500
Cleveland is my pick to represent the American League in the World Series. Implicit in that prediction is the belief that it carries value early in the season.
South Point is dealing one of the lower prices in town on this game, so there’s no hesitation in laying a reasonable amount to back the Indians. Not with Danny Salazar on the mound.
The 26-year-old has Cy Young potential. He’s struck out 9.9 batters per nine innings in his three-year Major League career.
Boston has a formidable offense, as seen when it blasted equally gifted Carlos Carrasco for four runs in Wednesday’s game. But the Indians can hit their share, too, and Red Sox starter Joe Kelly will oblige.
Starting today, I’ll subscribe to the Tribe.
