Guardians may be MLB's biggest surprise team for a surprising reason

There has been no organization in baseball better at developing premier starting pitching over the past decade than the Cleveland Guardians.

In recent years, the team’s success and key to any postseason berth has often fallen on the shoulders of its rotation.

This season, the Guardians are using a different recipe as they sit atop the AL Central.

The Guardians’ offense has been the team’s driving force through nearly the first two months of the season.
