MLB Betting Odds - 2010 Toronto vs Cleveland Live Preview Details and Odds: Toronto (15-13) has won three straight and five of six, including an 8-5 win over Cleveland (10-16) on Tuesday night. The Blue Jays now have a chance to sweep the Indians for the first time since a three-game series on the road from Sept. 9-11, 2002.
Strong production at the plate has played a large role in Toronto’s recent success, and light-hitting Cleveland hardly seems to be in any position to keep up. The Blue Jays have 14 home runs in their last six games and lead the majors with 42.
“They lead the league in home runs, but they also lead the league in strikeouts,” Indians manager Manny Acta said. “We’ve got to make pitches. … We haven’t in two days.”
The Blue Jays’ pitchers, meanwhile, have done an outstanding job of keeping opponents from going deep. The staff has surrendered one homer in its last 89 innings, dating to April 24 at Tampa Bay.
Brandon Morrow(notes) (2-2, 5.46 ERA), set to take the mound for the Blue Jays, hasn’t given up a homer in his last three starts, going 2-1 with a 2.37 ERA. The right-hander allowed two runs and struck out nine in six innings to earn a win in Toronto’s 10-2 victory over Oakland on Friday night.
