The AL Central is not a good division. In fact, it may be Major League Baseball’s weakest. The Cleveland Guardians enter this series in second place of the lowly Central despite owning a sub-.500 record at 22-24. To be fair, they have played a bit better than their record would indicate, outscoring opponents by 23 runs so far, and they are in the midst of a hot streak, winners of three in a row and four of their last five.
The Guardians are middle of the pack in just about every team statistic. Their 212 runs scored are 15th in MLB.
