The Indians and Royals play the last of this four game series tonight, with the Indians ahead with two wins. If the Tribe is going to make the 2nd Wild Card spot, every game is must-win, not the least because 14 of their 17 remaining games are against AL Central opponents. That includes seven games again the Twins, who are currently third in line for one of the two Wild Card spots. The Indians are 26-35 within the division this season after going 44-32 in 2013 and 39-37 in 2014. Do not despair, our guys have won 12 of their last 19 games against AL opponents. Tonight, Corey Kluber (8-13, 3.41) makes his first start since August 29th vs. the Royals’ Yordano Ventura (11-8, 4.42).
