The Indians still have about 20 games left against KC and Tampa Bay. The wild card is a real possibility, although I don't see them going far even if they were to get into the postseason.
Psychologically, the Tribe has several factors in its favor...most important being that nobody expects anything of them..therefore there is NO pressure..and if the Yankees and Red Six focus on each other, and the A's/Angels do the same....well... what's the odds NOW in Vegas for Cleveland to make the playoffs?
