Indians vs Rays MLB 2010 Odds – May 18, 2010: Despite the New York Yankees’ hot start, the surprising (27-11) Tampa Bay Rays [-240 ML] are the ones leading the American League East Division. Looking to make it four wins in a row, the Rays will play the finale of a short two-game set with the sports betting odds underdog (15-21) Cleveland Indians [+220 ML]. First pitch for this MLB 2010 Odds contest is scheduled for 1:10 PM ET (12:10 PM CT) and it will be broadcasted live on Sun Sports and/or SPO.
For the Indians, the offensive is finally beginning to click here in the early going, after a miserable start. In the past 17 games, Cleveland hitters are batting: 280 (167-for-597) with 31 doubles, 10 homers with 77 runs scored (4.53 per game). On the hill today for the visitors will be LHP David Huff (1-5, 5.35 ERA), who brings an 0-1 record and a 8.22 ERA against Tampa Bay.
"Pitching rules, man," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "Pitching and defense is big. When you have a 2.75 team ERA, that's impressive. They're still not swinging the bats like they're capable of, but they're in first place because of their pitching and defense. They have a lot of weapons."
For the Rays, toeing the rubber and looking to keep his hot start going is their young pitching sensation, LHP David Price (5-1, 2.03 ERA). Price comes into this matchup with no decisions against the Tribe and a 5.40 ERA to go with it. The OVER/UNDER for this game is set at a combined total of 8½ runs scored.
"I'm not going to change anything up. I haven't seen these guys," Price said. "I didn't even know they had half the people they had on this team. I'm not going to change anything up. Just keep going the same way I've been going."
