Why are the Indians so good after the All-Star break every season?

It’s happening again.

The Cleveland Indians are tearing through opponents after the All-Star break.

If there is one characteristic that encapsulates the identity of the Francona-led Indians, it is the surge they make every season as the playoffs approach. Last season the team demolished opponents during a 22-game winning streak. The 2018 team is following the same path. They’re 19-9 since the All-Star break as they face a four-game series against the Red Sox, who may become the seventh team to finish the regular season with a winning percentage better than .700 since 1920.
