For my take this morning i team from the start because of the pitching. This is my prediction on opening day. I fixed the indians to win the division. You can see i was wrong with the other spots in the division but all that matters is who wins it. I seven openingday the indians had the pitching and the manager to win the division. And the hope was the hitting would come around. The celebration in detroit last night was all about this team coming together. The number two hitting team and vision of mike napoli paid off. Other teams did not take a chance on him. The indians did. It brought more power and runs to the offense. The pitching was as good as expected. And then they added to the bullpen. Andrew miller is the best in the game taking this a complete indians team. Hats off to the indians management. They made all the right moves to get his team into the postseason. And a solid contender to make it to the world series. With these pitchers this be its ready for a run and it could go beyond this october. Tweet me your thoughts.
