I noticed going into this series the Tribe was 1-8 against lefties. Well, they beat up Lilly on Friday 13th, but who hasn't beat the hell out of Lilly and his 9+ ERA...Should be a different story with Chacin on the mound...

Today, the Indians will again face a LH pitcher, however, this one is much more capable than the fading lilly they faced last night. The tribe is still only 2-8 vs LHP and is 0-3 in Millwood's home starts with an overall team record of 2-5 in his games started. Chacin on the other hand is 4-0 in road starts and the team has a 5-2 record in his starts this year. BA and RPG also favour the Blue Jays.

Cleveland is 4-8 @ home, 4-11 in day games. They hit worse at home, and very poorly vs. lefties. Millwood is 0-2 vs. Toronto with a double digit era. Looking for the Jays to grab a win here.
HARGROVE is 25-5 (+17.2 Units) against the money line after scoring 9 runs or more 2 straight games in all games he has managed since 1997.
