2017 Cleveland Indians

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Updated Cy Young #s:

Chris Sale:
31 GS (17-7), 209.1 IP, 300 K (12.90 K/9), 0.95 WHIP, 2.75 ERA

Corey Kluber:
28 GS (18-4), 198.2 IP, 262 K (11.87 K/9), 0.86 WHIP, 2.27 ERA


Sale scheduled to face Toronto on Tuesday, as well as Houston on the last day of the season. That is, unless they hold him to one start to rest him for the playoffs.

Kluber scheduled to make one more start against the White Sox.

That extra start for Sale could create a bigger gap in the totals stats like K's, but it's pretty close to locked up at this point.
 
Forgot to mention it earlier, but Perez caught Kluber again this last start. That's now two in a row for him, preceded by 20 straight Kluber outings caught by Gomes. Given the timing, a clear indication of what's to come in the playoffs as far as the time share between the catchers.
 
I don't think the Dodgers win the NL so it's irrelevant. You can't limp into the playoffs like they have and be the same team.

They aren't the Cavs :chuckle:
 
In 2015 the Royals went like 11-17 or something in September and won it all

Dodgers were what 15-20 games up on the Indians at one point this summer. The dodgers are playing extremely bad, but that being said you can never count out a team with Kershaw and their roster. They just have to see if they can make it against the wild card winner.

They were 20 games up on the Indians on August 25th. They were 92-38
 
From the pinned Debunking 2016 playoff myths thread.

"Last year's champions, the Kansas City Royals, were just 15-17 in September. The 2014 Giants were 13-12 in September and 6-9 the final two weeks. The 2012 Giants, however, were 20-10 in September and stayed hot, winning the World Series. Based on September record, I checked the hottest and coldest teams entering the playoffs. The "hot" teams won two World Series (2012 Giants and 2008 Phillies) and reached another (2007 Rockies). The "cold" teams won and reached only one World Series (2006 Cardinals).

Overall, the hot teams did fare a little better, so this idea isn't completely without some merit: The hot teams went 49-42 in postseason games and the cold teams went 27-31.

The hottest team the final month was the Red Sox at 19-10; the coldest team was the Blue Jays at 13-16."

I'm glad something was done this offseason. The problem is now, players are striking out way too much to avoid double plays.
 
KC has never had a 40 home run hitter in franchise history and are the only franchise to hold that distinction.
 
The Indians are the best Road team in baseball, but it's always nice to be home.

Also if I remember a stat correctly Carrasco has been better on the road than at home, so I wonder if that will effect who starts game one of the playoffs

Yes! Gomes is now going to play center field!
