Cleveland Indians: Starting pitching depth

For Cleveland sports fans, it could be 10 Christmases and five birthdays all at once given how close their Cleveland Indians may go to winning it this year. They’re currently just a win away from the best team in the AL, but the party could be over very soon come the playoffs.

Cleveland own the opposite problem to their brothers across the lake in Toronto – instead of relief depth, it is starting depth that has the Indians worried.

Josh Tomlin is a shell of the man who started the season 7-0, as he has since gone 4-7. Danny Salazar is in a similar predicament. Having gone 10-3 with a 2.75 ERA, before the All-Star break, he is now 1-1 with a 9.88 ERA. These two Tribesmen must re-find their way, or their team will simply not last a post-season run.
