Cleveland games cleared 9.5 in 6 of the last 10, averaging 10.7 total runs. Lugo's 2.68 ERA looks clean, but the 4.09 xERA and 38% hard-hit rate keep Cleveland live enough.

There may be some value on Seth Lugo's pitching outs prop. THE BAT X is projecting him to record 16.26 pitching outs, and oddsmakers are implying 17.86. The model believes there is a 58% chance he records fewer than 18 pitching outs. If you can get the under at +135 or better there is great value here. This play is good down to at least -110.
