2018 MLB Season Preview: Cleveland Indians

The Cleveland Indians are on a nice run. They’ve made the postseason a couple seasons in a row and have one of the most dynamic starting rotations in the Majors. They also saw young players like Francisco Lindor turn into MVP candidates.

The Indians have some of their starters back after they began to fall like flies late last year. Will they run away with the AL Central or will the Tigers keep pace?
