Sick loss yesterday, as Lowe again dominated the Padres, but the bullpen blew it in the 9th. Monday's play:
Cleveland Indians -110 (Lee/Vazquez)
I don't mind this price with this pitching mismatch. Lee has been solid throughout his career against the White Sox, and there's this: the White Sox average 1.2 rpg fewer against LHSP (left-handed starting pitchers) than RHSP, and the Indians average 1.7 rpg more against RHSP than LHSP.
The White Sox travel halfway across the country after a tough win over the Angels, while the Indians are coming off a home loss against Texas. They need to get back in the win column, and sending Lee to the mound is the best way.
