ASTROS VS INDIANS PREDICTION
The Astros opened at -165 faves and the line has dropped all the way to -140 at some books. The public is pounding the Astros but this reverse line movement is indicating the sharps are on the Indians today. The Indians have 12 hits in 47 at-bats with a .255 team batting average. Rosario, Hernandez, and J. Ramirez all have over .300 average against the familiar Greinke. The Astros bullpen has been terrible as of late with a 7.66 ERA in the last 5 games. The Indians should be able to get to Greinke and take advantage of the bullpen today.
