I want the Indians going for me after they lost at home to the Reds last night. Since last year's All-Star Game, the Indians have compiled the best home record in the majors at 56-24.
The Reds have been playing better but they are far below the Indians and draw Trevor Bauer here. Bauer is 4-1 with a 2.52 ERA at Progressive Field this season. He has a 2.05 ERA in his last 10 overall starts with 99 strikeouts in 70 1/3 innings during this span.
Cincinnati's Sal Romano and the Reds' overworked bullpen can't match that. Romano has a 5.40 ERA on the year. He did beat the White Sox during his last start this past Wednesday, but still gave up four runs on six hits in five innings.
