The Indians have won three games in a row (and are three outs away from a fourth win in that time, but will have to wait three weeks to see if they can get them) and closed with within 3.5 games of 1st place Kansas City, and 3 games of Detroit, who currently holds the second Wild Card spot. This series is huge for both teams, and it starts off with two of the game's best pitchers facing off. Corey Kluber has been a little off the last couple games, though not bad. David Price had the worst start of his career the last time he took the mound, giving up 8 runs in the 3rd inning without recording an out. Don't count on a repeat of that this afternoon.
