There is an old saying in baseball that everyone wins 54 games, everyone loses 54 games, and it’s what you do with the other 54 games that makes the difference.
So what are the Indians doing with their other 54 games?
How about 26-4. 27-4.
Here’s another way to look at the Indians’ recent success:
If the Indians go 12-12 11-12 in their last 24 23 games the Tigers must go 20-4 21-3 to win the division crown.
The Indians now have a 97% chance of making the playoffs. (1)
Good times.
