Houston Astros
Houston has so far swept the week. It has won five consecutive going into Saturday’s game three in Cleveland and may be gunning for seven straight by the time Gerrit Cole takes the mound on Sunday.
So far, I have seen no cause for concern with Houston. The Cole signing has been as good as anybody could have hoped for it to be and the offense is chugging along just fine without any exceptionally hot starts for anybody. You get the sense the best is yet to come from the offense, actually.

So it’s just going to be a matter of staying healthy, which the Astros have done thus far, and then playing the best baseball they can going into the playoffs.
My one nitpick would be that AJ Hinch doesn’t seem to have a ton of guys he trusts out of the bullpen. When the playoffs come around, he will have enough arms if everybody is healthy. It would help if he had some younger guys who he trusts to mix in throughout the 162.
Cleveland Indians
I feel the same way about the Indians, though their start hasn’t been nearly as convincing as Houston’s has.
The Tribe is a game under .500 going into Saturday about 30 percent way through the season. It is still an overwhelming favorite (-400) to win the Central because it’s the worst division in baseball and the Indians’ pythagorean record is better than its actual mark.

I do have some worry about the offense. Are the struggles as simple as Jason Kipnis’ terrible season? He’s one of three guys on the roster with 200+ plate appearances and he has a 41 OPS+.
Thing is, Michael Brantley, Frankly Lindor and Jose Ramirez are all flourishing despite some skepticism that each would either bounce back from injury (Brantley) or maintain great 2017 production (the other two).
If I would have told Cleveland fans those three would be having the seasons they are having and the club would still be .500 through 50 games, they would assume something terribly wrong has gone wrong with the pitching staff, which isn’t the case either.
Personally, I believe it’s only a matter of time for the wins to start coming in bunches.
