Bet on Baseball – Indians at White Sox. The Cleveland Indians continue to be on of the best teams for gamblers to bet on baseball this season.The Indians have been superb at home in baseball betting but they are also above .500 on the road. They are still likely to be underdogs though at the White Sox as odds makers still are not giving Cleveland enough credit.
Carmona vs. Floyd
The Indians are set to send Fausto Carmona on Thursday night. He is 3-3 on the season with a 3.94 ERA. He has been very good lately with a 1-0 record and a 1.99 ERA in his last three starts. He has a winning record in his career against the White Sox at 7-4 but his ERA is very high at 5.48. He will be opposed on Thursday night by Gavin Floyd who is 4-3 on the season with a 4.22 ERA. It is hard to know what to make of the White Sox and their pitching staff. Floyd is just 1-2 with a 5.40 ERA in his last three starts. He has very similar numbers to what Carmona has in terms of his career mark against the Indians. Floyd is 4-3 in his career against Cleveland with a 5.44 ERA.
Over the Total?
With both of the two starting pitchers having poor career numbers against the other team, this game could go over the total vs. the odds at Sbg global.com. The problem with taking any Chicago game over the total as you bet on baseball is that the team is still not hitting. With all of their offensive talent, the White Sox are just 23rd in the league in runs per game. Perhaps they can get it done on Thursday night against Carmona. The rest of the numbers look good as before last night the Over was 7-0-1 in the Indians last 8 overall. The Over is 8-3 in Carmona’s last 11 road starts. The Over is 4-0 in Floyd’s last 4 starts vs. the American League Central. The Over is 3-0-1 in Carmona’s last 4 starts vs. the White Sox. The Over is 12-4 in the last 16 meetings.
