The Indians were one game over .500 last year and a pretty big letdown. But this year they’re poised to make a move up the standings and at least threaten for a wild card spot.  

When you’re betting on any baseball game, pay special attention to the pitching matchup, the injuries, and trends. In MLB, the best team in a division isn’t that much more talented than bad teams. When you’re placing bets, know that if the #1 team in the division is playing a 3 game series with the #4 or #5 team, it’s very likely the cellar-dweller will win at least 1 of those games. Upsets aren’t always longshots. 

Last year, the Indians pitchers struck out an all-time AL record 24.8 percent of the batters they faced. This record had been set the year prior by the Tampa Bay Rays’ 23.44 percent. Like 3-pointers in the NBA, strikeouts in the MLB are on the rise in a record-shattering way. But, that doesn’t make the record meaningless, as Indian pitchers have proven they can hurl massive heat. And there is no reason their rotation of Corey Kluber, Danny Salazar, Carlos Carrasco and Trevor Bauer can’t break that mark this year.
