Cleveland has such an easy looking schedule remaining after Boston.

When do you think they back-off the throttle a little, give players a rest to prepare for the post-season?

Or do they go full speed ahead thru the end of the regular season, to stay in top form for the playoffs?


37 games (5 weeks) remaining in the regular season for the Cleveland Indians going into tonight's game, 3rd game in a 4-game series at Boston, where they won the first two games of this series.

Cleveland has a 13.5 game lead in the AL Central division over the Twins, no surprise. The Tigers are 3rd in the division at 21.5 games back.

I think they found motivation for the current series with Boston, but I'd expect them to lose some upcoming games in the schedule against these cream-puff opponents:
