Team Streak

As the entire world knows, the Indians have been on an remarkable winning streak. It comes at the best time possible when the top teams need to bring their "A" game. As well as the Indians are playing teams like the Dodgers, Red Sox and Astros are struggling. It all bodes well for Cleveland.
Cleveland's streak comes at a time when three key members are out with injuries. Andrew Miller , Jason Kipnis and Michael Brantley all have missed significant playing time yet the team has not missed a beat. Players like Urshela, Diaz and pitchers Olson and veteran Craig Breslow have done their parts to help. This looks to be a team really on a roll.
I am amazed at the home run total of Frankie Lindor. I though he could be a guy that hits 15 or 16 homers a year and bats over .300 As I write this Lindor is close to having a thirty home run season. Where did the power come from? He has really carried the load until Encarnacion and Santana have begun to step it up. With Jay Bruce added the Indians are a good long ball hitting team to go along with the tremendous pitching.
Do we see a another World Series appearance and this time a win? I would not bet against it!
