The Indians have received major contributions from Jason Kipnis and Jackie Bradley Jr., as Kipnis is 16-for-44 with three home runs, 10 RBI and seven run scored in his last 10 games. Bradley Jr. extended his career-best hitting streak to 25 games on Friday.

- The UNDER is 8-2 in Bauer's last 10 starts overall.

Bauer (3-1, 3.89 ERA) has struck out a season-high eight batters and 15 in his last two starts, while Kelly is making an appearance after spending some time in Triple-A Pawtucket. Kelly initial three performances of the season were ugly, as the 27-year-old allowed nine runs on 14 hits en route to walking 10 batters in 8.5 innings.
Kelly has looked much better in his last rehabilitation outing on Monday, striking out 10 over 6.5 innings with Pawtucket. Kelly is 1-0 with a minuscule 0.82 ERA in two career starts in Cleveland.
