Money line (ML)
Cleveland took Monday’s opener but has otherwise been in a tailspin since late June. The Indians are 11-20 over their last 31 games.
Toronto has been quite good in the second half, posting a robust .852 OPS going into Monday’s contest.
Toronto is a lean at around -200. PASS on the current tag.
