3 Unit Pick #962 Take Kansas City (-105) over Cleveland (August 24, 8:10)
The oddsmaker opened this line at Kansas City as a (-1.15) favorite and the early action has come in on the Indians pushing this line down. The Indians send Jeremy Sowers to the mound, Sowers tends to walk a lot and has shown that can pitch at times but hasn’t been consistent enough to be a starter at this level. Indians starter Gil Meche is making his third start of the disabled list tonight and while he wasn’t sharp in his first two start’s he did win both. Meche has been sharp vs. the Indians in three start’s with a 2:21 era and in his last start vs. Cleveland struckout eleven in seven scoreless innings. I think the light hitting Royals can hit Sowers and I think Meche will be sharper tonight then he has in his last two starts.
