The Cleveland Indians can come out of their slump anytime now. After getting off to a hot start in August, they’ve found themselves in the midst of a 4-7 slump. While that isn’t the end of the world and they still hold a 14 game lead over the Twins, the Indians are simply not playing their best baseball.
Meanwhile the Royals have won seven of their last 10, including a series win over the Tribe two weeks ago. Not much has changed since these two teams last met. The Indians have added Josh Donaldson, but it’s straight to the DL for him for his rehab assignment.
