MINNEAPOLIS — As the Cleveland Indians were running away with the American League Central last season on their way to the World Series, they dominated within their division to win the Central by eight games.
Minnesota, despite finishing at the bottom of the division, actually had the most success against Cleveland of anyone in the Central. The Indians won 10 of the 19 games between the two teams and the teams had an even run-differential at 92 runs apiece.
This season, the Twins are the ones on top in the division and Cleveland is two games behind as the two teams begin a four-game series in Minnesota on Friday.
