In all seriousmess, I just don't see how Cleveland can do it. You need to Kluber to win both his starts and then hope that the rest can go 2-3. Or do you try and get three games out of Kluber and pitch him in 4 and 7 on three days rest? Kluber coming off back-to-back three day rests against a fresh Hendricks? I'll take that any day? Cubs win tonight, and Cleveland is pretty much backed into the latter scenario.

Only hope is for either the top of the Cubs' order to go silent again or some crazy Cubs curse bullshit to rear its head.

I actually agree with this. Between the pitching and return of the bats, there's a reason this is the best team in baseball.

That and Indians are the walking wounded. Just too injured.

Oh and shitty

All this is true on paper. Time to play the games.

All comes down to the pen. If the Tribe leads with 2 outs in the 6th 4 times, they win. If not, they don't.

All depends how our 2-4 starters roll... if they can each get us to the 6th inning tied I like I ours

Do it, Boys!

Like the hundred-year-old lady in the pregame video said, we're not getting any younger.
