The Indians arrive in Houston after splitting a two-game series with the Marlins to end a rather disappointing 2-3 homestand. Though they have the exact same record to start 2019 as they did in 2018, the competition has grown fiercer in the AL Central and they currently find themselves looking up at the Twins atop the division. This is partially due to the injury bugs and some of Cleveland’s regulars not currently playing up to snuff, but the Indians are not in a position where it can expect to waltz into the playoffs like it has in past seasons.
