The Indians are in line to become the first team in MLB history to run through the postseason undefeated en route to a World Series title. Seriously, it’s hard to pick against the Tribe at this point given their dominant rotation, flame-throwing bullpen and powerful lineup that has been among the best in the league even without Jason Kipnis and Michael Brantley for long stretches. The Indians look like the most dangerous team in the league, and it’s not even close.
