One of the most important aspects of the MLB season is winning your division. It gives you the easiest path to the playoffs and keeps you on top of your game.

The progress has been slow and it doesn’t look like the Indians will have much competition in 2019. But we have seen crazy things happen, like the incredible turnaround by the Minnesota Twins in the 2017 season.
