Four Reasons Why the Indians Should Be Postseason Favorites

2. The Offense

Cleveland boasts arguably the most dangerous lineup in all of baseball. Their first five batters in the lineup all have at least 68 RBI and four of their hitters have at least 20 home runs (Lindor, Ramirez, Alonso and Encarnacion).

Greg Allen is a threat to steal a base every time he’s on and Gomes and Perez have always been timely and clutch hitters. The surprise in the lineup is Melky Cabrera who has really stepped up recently. In July the RF batted .364 but this month his offensive numbers have taken a jump.

Cabrera has 5 home runs, 14 RBI and eight runs scored this month, he has really gotten in the groove of things. The only weak link currently is second baseman Jason Kipnis who has been in a season long slump, but has the capability to get hot at any point in time.
