Interleague Play

Tonight's game reminds me why I approach interleague play with trepidation. 

Lopsided interleague records have had strong effect on standings in the AL Central.

 

2007 AL Central Interleague Record:

Detroit 14-4

Minnesota 11-7

Kansas City 10-8

Cleveland 9-9

Chicago 4-14

 

2006 

Minnesota 16-2

Detroit 15-3

Chicago 14-4

Kansas Ciy 10-8

Cleveland 8-10

 

2005

Cleveland 15-3

Chicago 12-6

Detroit 9-9

Kansas City 9-9

Minnesota 8-10

 

2004

Minnesota 11-7

Cleveland 10-8

Detroit 9-9

Chicago 7-10 (?)

Kansas City 9-9

 

The Indians have not played well in interleague games during past two seasons, and seem to have problems with the Reds, with whom they've gone 3-3 last year and in 2006. That's not bad, but Cleveland should do better against a lame Reds team.
