To help preview the upcoming Tigers-Indians series, we spoke with Matt Lyons of Let's Go Tribe.
With the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians set to kick off a three-game series at Comerica Park, we spoke with Matt Lyons of Let's Go Tribe, SB Nation's excellent Indians community, about their team, who many projected to win the AL Central running away in 2016.
For the past few seasons, the Indians have been the darling AL Central team of various statistical projection systems (PECOTA, Steamer, etc.). While we know why this is the case -- they love high strikeout pitchers, something the Tribe have in spades -- the Indians have not been able to follow through.
