Thats my concern. Im sure Toronto feels real good taking down the #1 seed, and scoring so easily on them. Would that continue against our pitching?
Texas was a complete anomaly this year. Their run differential was terrible, and if I had to guess their record just based off of that I wouldn't have thought they were a playoff team. They just happened to be ridiculously good in one run games, but they were certainly fools gold.
Toronto has some hot bats, but the Tribe is getting contributions up and down the order, from the pen, from the rotation. They were one of the best teams in baseball at home this year, and they have home field advantage locked up for the rest of the postseason. Going to be a competitive series, but I like their chances more than I liked their chances against Boston. Don't forget that the Indians also had a higher scoring offense than Toronto, too.
