June has been an odd month for the Cleveland Indians.
The team is 10-8 in June and 8-8 against the lowly AL Central. All eight of those losses have been frustrating given the competition, but the Indians enter today winners of four straight. Is this finally the time when they pull away from the likes of the Twins and the Tigers?
I’m scared to answer that question. All month I have said “this series is the one where the Indians finally bury the division,” only to be proven wrong each time. The sweep over the White Sox was nice, but it will take some sustained success to really believe that the team will cruise to another division title.
