After 74 games, the Cleveland Guardians stand at 37-37, 9.5 games behind 1st place Detroit. The offense is ranked in the bottom third of MLB with these stats:

Runs: 25th......HR's: 20th.......Avg: 26th........BB's: 20th........OBP: 26th.........Slug: 28th

OPS: 27th.......Doubles: 26th

The pitching has been respectable, ranking 17th with a team ERA of 3.92. The Guardians are 11th in saves, but have issued the 7th most BB's. The Whip is ranked 23rd, while teams are hitting at a .252 average, which is 21st in MLB.

The Guardians are ranked 28th in fielding.

Most likely Detroit will win the Central Division, but a wild card is still a very possible outcome for Cleveland. But the offensive and fielding numbers have to improve for that to be a reality. To date, one of the positives is that the Guardians have done well within the division. 3-1 vs. Detroit, 4-2 vs. Minnesota, 4-2 vs. Kansas City, and 3-0 vs. the White Sox.
