1. Solid Starting Pitching
When you have a two-time Cy Young award winner at the top of your rotation, it’s bound to be solid for the most part, and through the first 25 games, not many can complain about what Indians starters have brought to the table to this point.
Yes Josh Tomlin has yet to win a game (more on that later), but Corey Kluber, Carlos Carrasco (forget about Saturday’s game), Trevor Bauer, and Mike Clevinger have all been very very good.
The pitching has posted a 3.28 ERA in the first 25 games, the lowest ERA in the first month since the 1991 season. They’ve already recorded 210 strikeouts as well.
The starters have thrown at least six innings in 17 of 25 games, third most right now in the Majors. The five starters have gone a combined 12-7 entering Sunday’s affair.
