Baseball, perhaps more than any other professional sport, is one where teams are often divided by a huge financial gulf. Some teams have very deep pockets and can afford to make big splashes every offseason, while others are forced to spend, blow things up, and then start rebuilding from scratch. The LA Dodgers are a team that are routinely at the top of the payroll list, yet their huge financial investments are yet to reap dividends in the form of championships. The Cleveland Indians went through a lot of lean years, but are now spending as they search for the World Series that they came so very close to winning last season. The Dodgers can probably continue to keep spending this way for years to come, but you get the sense that the window of opportunity is not quite to wide open for Cleveland. These two teams will meet in Cleveland this week in what should be a very entertaining interleague series. Find the latest baseball betting predictions here.

The Dodgers (39-25) have spent the majority of this season playing second fiddle to the Colorado Rockies in the NL West. They continue the chase, and now find themselves just a single game out of the top spot. They ended last week with a bang, winning 4 straight, including a sweep of the Cincinnati Reds over the weekend. The Dodgers have been a nightmare to face at home this season, posting a 25-10 record that is among the best in the league. The road has not been so kind, though, as the Dodgers find themselves a game below .500 away from home. This will be the first interleague action for the Dodgers this season, and it will be Brandon McCarthy (5-3, 3.28 ERA) who gets the start.
