Cleveland Indians Handicapping

From 2003 to 2004, the Cleveland Indians improved by 12 wins. They followed that up by improving by another 13 wins. Where will these Cleveland Indians be in 2006?

It is easy to expect a lot from these Indians. They have a young cohesive hitting lineup. No chemistry problems on the team at all. Their pitching staff is actually pretty decent considering they gave up Bartolo Colon not too long ago.

With all that said, if you are expecting similar success in 2006, be prepared for a disappointment.

Their improvement in 2005 from 2004 was strictly on their play on the road. As a young team, they had troubles on the road in 2004. Their unity and strength actually made them a better road team than home team in 2005. At home they were 43-38 (-13 units) but they were an impressive 50-31 (+22.15) on the road.

There is no way we can expect them to have so much success on the road in 2006. If they are going to be successful in 2006, they will have to figure out how to win some more games at home. 43 like last year will not cut it.

Another problem for these Indians was their play against left handed pitching. They were 50-58 (-17 units) over the past 2 seasons. They are a much imprved 122-93 (+25 units) against right handed pitching.

If they can pick up their play at home and against lefties, these Indians will have a successful 2006. Otherwise, watch them tank as so many up and coming teams have in the past.
