SU Play ON Trend of the Day:

-- The Indians are 28-0 SU as a road 200+ favorite off a road game in which they hit at least one home run.

SU Play AGAINST Trend of the Day:

-- The Angels are 0-34 SU as a dog of more than 135 when they are off a game as a dog and their opponent's starter has a strike-per-ball ratio better than 1.89 on the season and it is not a series opener. In each of their last eight games in this spot - all from this season - the Angels NEVER held the lead.

Hitter-Based Trend of the Day:

-- The Cubs are 23-0 SU as a 135-plus favorite off a home game in which Kyle Schwarber was hitless in at least three at bats, as long as they are not on a five-plus game winning streak.

Starter-Based Trend of the Day:

-- The Dodgers are 25-0 SU when Clayton Kershaw starts as a home 200+ favorite when he threw more than 70 pitches and had a WHIP of less than one in his last start.
