Summary
One of the downsides of Major League Baseball's expanded playoffs for 2020 is that there's now less at stake in the six divisional races.But if anyone's looking for a good one anyway, there's some outstanding theater happening in the American League Central.The Minnesota Twins and Cleveland were the class of the division in 2019, winning 101 and 93 games, respectively. They've also recently been dominating headlines by way of Jose Abreu's home run prowess and Lucas Giolito's brilliant 13-strikeout, one-walk no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday.As of Friday morning, Minnesota, Cleveland and Chicago are separated by just a half-game in the race for first in the AL Central. Jose Berrios is better than a guy with a 4.75 ERA, and the Twins will soon have Michael Pineda (suspension) and Jake Odorizzi (chest injury) back.Though this is admittedly an odd thing to say about a staff with an AL-best 2.86 ERA, Cleveland's own pitching also has further potential.With a 1.35 ERA and a 75-to-nine strikeout-to-walk ratio through seven starts, Shane Bieber is the best pitcher in baseball right now.
