CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Indians opened Week 12 impressively on the road, only to fizzle at home. As a result, the rankings of their seven games from Week 12 (record: 3-4) were all over the map.
Each Major League Baseball regular-season game is 1/162nd of the puzzle (assuming every game is played). Within those equal pieces, though, are varying degrees of quality and/or significance.
One victory can be more impressive than another, based on numerous factors that include strength of opponent and its starting pitcher; how the game unfolded; and who made certain types of plays.
