Cleveland Indians vs. Oakland A's Prediction for July 16/2017
The Indians have lost three in a row and they need a win today to avoid the series sweep against the A's. They have only totaled six runs in their last thee games and in the two losses in this series they have only scored three runs off a total of nine hits. Cleveland is still in first place in the AL Central, but they are only 1.5 games up on the Minnesota Twins and three games up on the Kansas City Royals. The A's are nine games under .500 for the season, but they have won six of their last eight games and go for the sweep today in this series. They are in the basement of the AL West 20 games out of first place and 6.5 games back in the Wild Card. The A's pitching has been solid as of late giving up a total of 11 runs in their last four games. Cleveland has won their last four road games facing a left-hand starter, but that trend will not continue in this game. Manaea will have a good home outing and keep the Cleveland lineup in check and the A's will take this finale and complete the series sweep.
