The Cleveland Indians are in the basement of the AL Central. At 48-55, they are 14 games behind the first-place Kansas City Royals. And they’re six games out of the final Wild Card spot in the American League.
There are just under 60 games remaining in the season so, although there’s time to make up ground, the Indians are in a situation wherein they seemingly have to win every series from here on out.
That’s easier said than done, however.
Up 2-1 in the weekend series against Oakland, the Tribe must go through A’s ace Sonny Gray for this win.
