The Cleveland Indians put a 14-2 beating on the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday to make it three wins in a row. The Cards on the other hand are losers of three straight and I like the Tribe to keep rolling on Saturday.

St. Louis right-hander Jack Flaherty (2-0, 1.98 ERA) has allowed only three runs over 13 2/3 innings in three starts on the season, but he hasn't gone deep in the games. The Cards have played 18 games over the last 13 days which must have taken a toll on their bullpen. Their relievers were heavily used once again yesterday as starter Daniel Ponce de Leon was chased off the mound after just two outs in the first inning.

Cleveland righty Carlos Carrasco (2-3, 4.50 ERA) has not been at his very best in recent starts, but note that the Cardinals have scored only five runs over their last three games.

Indians are 10-1 in their last 11 road games. Cardinals are 1-4 in their last 5 home games.

8* play on Cleveland Indians.
