I have to say I'm starting to find the Indians are becoming a real pain to me this postseason. It seems like they might be getting a bit more banged up and injured as the postseason moves along but they just don't seem to show it. They've only played 9 games in the postseason but they've won 8 of them. If I was to rank my the top teams I'd root for in baseball, it would be the Cubs, Red Sox and Jays and the Indians have eliminated two of those teams already. I'm really hoping they don't make the trifecta here. I have a feeling that if the Cubs win, they'd probably drop from the number one spot but having seen the Red Sox win a few World Series, I really want to see the Cubs win one.
That said, it's only the first game and the Cubs came back from a deficient in their series against LA. They've been the best team in baseball all year and I just feel like they are a stacked juggernaut so I still think this is the year they pull it off. But the strong performance of the Indians right now makes me fear they might be peaking at the optimal time and upset the Cubs season.
