Game 1 went about as well as could possibly be expected for Cleveland. While Corey Kluber struck out batters at a World Series-record pace (eight of the first nine Cubs outs were via punchout), the Indians rattled Jon Lester for two runs in the first without hitting a ball hard. Although more runs crossed the plate later, the events of the first inning were really all the bullpen protection duo of Andrew Miller and Cody Allen needed, and it all made for a thrilling night for Cleveland sports fans.Its a cliché of course, but there a lot of wisdom to the maxim that a postseason series doesnt really started until the home team loses a game. The Indians simply held serve last night, in a game that saw them with quite possibly the highest implied win expectancy (50 percent) theyll see all series. However, it was a very meaningful hold of serve because its one thing to have a plan, its another thing to execute it. The Tribe have now demonstrated that, just like they did against the Red Sox and the Blue Jays, they can execute it against the Cubs as well.Our team of baseball handicappers is back for a look at Game 2.

Their thoughts on Game 2 follow.Westgate line: Cubs (Arrieta) -145 at (Bauer) +135 Over/under: 7 (-120 over)Game 2 PickCenter: 52 percent picking IndiansJoe Peta: Last night was something of a must-win for the Indians because they had full use of their strengths (Kluber, Miller and Allen), they had a seasons worth of basepath aggressiveness to exploit a Cubs vulnerability (Lester with runners on base) and they were at home. They delivered and they should be congratulated, but it wasnt entirely unexpected. I picked the Cubs in five games, but passed on a Game 1 wager, because, as I said in the series preview, lets give the Indians ... a win in one of the two games they face Lester.Ben Powers Ravens Jersey .
