Taking a look at the major league standings, notice this little anomaly. As was mentioned during last night's Twins broadcast, the Cleveland Indians have outscored their opponents, yet are significantly under .500. After last night's 7-2 loss to the Twins, Cleveland is 13 games below .500 (53-66) while outscoring its opponents by 52 runs for the season (647-595). Meanwhile, over in the National League and down the interstate from Cleveland, the Cincinnati Reds have been outscored by 29 runs (593-622) yet are three games over .500 (62-58) and in contention for a playoff spot. Who said the game made sense?
