The best teams in the MLB find a way to create a great balance between hitting and pitching. The perfect example of that this season is the Kansas City Royals, who are top 4 in both of those areas. Having one be great while the other struggles usually means that the team struggles to win consistently, which is exactly what is happening with the Toronto Blue Jays. They are in the midst of a 4-game series with the Cleveland Indians, with game 3 set for Saturday in Cleveland. Here’s our MLB betting preview for players looking to cash in big on this match.

Toronto vs Cleveland: MLB Betting Analysis

Date: Saturday, May 02, 2015 Time: 4:10PM Venue: Progressive Field Opening Line: Cleveland -155 The Blue Jays (11-12) have hammered home a staggering 122 runs to this point in the season, yet still find themselves at the bottom the AL East, albeit only 2.5 games out of first place. It is their pitching, specifically out of the bullpen, which has really hurt them this season. The pitching staff is ranked second to last in the league, with no real sign of improvement to build on. Toronto did get off to a winning start in this series after losing 5 of their previous 6 games against division rivals. They will be looking to feast on a struggling Indians team in hopes of getting a bit of momentum going. 22-year old Aaron Sanchez (1-2, 5.03 ERA) will take to the mound for the Jays on Saturday, and is likely going to have to throw a gem if he hopes to remain in the starting rotation. blue-jays-indians-mlb-betting The Cleveland Indians (7-14) are really struggling, and already find themselves 7.5 games adrift of top spot in the AL Central. Injuries have been a real concern for Cleveland all season long, and the worry is that by the time they get healthy, they may already be too far out of things to find a way back. The team is batting just .238 through the month of April, which is something that will need to improve dramatically if they are to make any kind of move. The Indians will be handing the ball to Corey Kluber (0-3, 4.24 ERA) on Saturday, who they will be hoping can find the type of form he displayed last year. Kluber has been hit hard this season, and has given up double digit hits in both of his last starts.

What Should You Bet On ?

The thought of Kluber hanging the ball over the plate against a hard hitting Blue Jays line-up must be something that brings shudders to the average Indians fan. This looks like the perfect opportunity for the Jays to put on a hitting clinic, and I don’t think they will pass it up.   Sources ESPN.com (http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/_/id/31254/aaron-sanchez) MLB.com (http://cleveland.indians.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=446372)
