Playoff Preview
The Indians and Angels split their four game series, which keeps LAnaheim in second place in the race for home field advantage, one game up on Cleveland. Despite three lopsided victories, the series was quite even, with the Indians outscoring the Angels 17-16 over the four games. A playoff series between the two would be a lot of fun. Right now, it's more likely to happen in the ALCS than the ALDS, but I could see these two teams going down to the ninth inning of game seven.
The also split the season series 5-5, with LAnaheim topping Cleveland 40-36 in runs scored. The Indians drew more walks and hit more homer runs, but they also struck out a lot more, 82-55. That allowed the Angels to out-hit them 94-80. The teams use two different offensive philosophies, and I'd like to see them go head-to-head in a seven game series.
