At first glance, the Indians might not seem like the best team for bettors, even with AccuScore's side value system. For the season, Cleveland has been slightly negative on the road: just over .500 (22-20) for a return of -150.

Recent trends however have been much more profitable. Over the past 14 days, side value has returned +282 for Cleveland road games. Money line has also been positive over the past two weeks.

There is a good explanation for the recent increase in accuracy. The Indians have been notorious over the past few seasons for shuffling lineups constantly, virtually on a daily basis. The lineup has been largely stable over recent weeks with Travis Hafner and Grady Sizemore returning from injury. Thus, simulations have been more accurate.

Friday, Cleveland starts a three game series with Detroit. For complete forecasts and simulations check back at AccuScore for the latest.
