The Indians badly need to win a series, especially with them already being 6 games behind Detroit and 5.5 games against Kansas City. Tonight's pitching matchup (Corey Kluber vs. Jason Vargas) should give the Tribe a big advantage, but I'm finished with thinking a favorable pitching matchup means good things, especially when the mediocre opposing starter is a lefty.
I understand moving Bourn out of the leadoff spot, but it's not as though Kipnis/Aviles is an exciting combination at the top either. Frankly, Brantley/Santana/Raburn is the only stretch of that lineup that inspires any excitement in me right now.
Three Tribe affiliates are in action this evening. You can find those games here.
