The Phillies were able to sneak one out last night over the Indians behind another solid performance from Jamie Moyer who continues to give good efforts to the team. The win snapped a two-game skid but it was also the second straight game without no production from the offense. This was a problem around a week ago that was a three-week issue and they cannot afford it again but something still is not right. Tonight it may need offense as the starter pitching takes a big step down. The Tuesday loss was the third straight for the Indians and the seventh in eight games but the value here is outstanding. Cleveland sends Jake Westbrook to the mound and it has certainly been a trying season for the veteran righty. He has been up and down all year as he has been unable to string together a good run but he has shown the ability to bounce back from poor outings and he will look to do it again here.

He is coming off a game where he allowed five runs against the Mets and in his two previous games where he allowed at least five runs, he followed those up with quality efforts the next time out and both resulting in Cleveland wins. The Phillies counter with Kyle Kendrick and he is the big step down referred to earlier. Overall his numbers are hot horrible but he has been extremely inconsistent and because of that alone, he should have no business laying this kind of number. He has been favored this big only twice and it resulted in one good outing and one bad outing, posting a combined 7.45 ERA. Cleveland also falls into a very solid underdog situation. Play against National League teams that are averaging between 4.3 and 4.8 rpg and have posted an on-base percentage of .300 or worse over their last 10 games going up against an American League starter with an ERA between 4.30 and 5.70). This situation is 42-18 (70 percent) since 1997. 3* Cleveland Indians
