51 Wins: Can the Indians actually hit the magic 90 win mark?

     51-44


    The record that the Cleveland Indians have at the All-Star Break making it their best first half of a season since 52 wins in '07.  So with 51 wins right now the Indians are on pace to have 90 wins this season, which with 2 wild card spots now is usually the magic number to make the post season.  15 new players were added to the Indians this off-season and in my mind they seem to be fitting together quite nicely with Tito as their first year manager.  Cleveland has had it troubles with good teams this year; vs. teams with a winning record only 17-30.  Lucky for the Indians the second half of the season has a very favorable schedule where 15 of the last 21 series matches them against a team with a losing record.  At this point of the season the Indians are 34-14 when playing teams with a losing record.  The tough part of their remaining schedule is Aug27th-Sept4th, starting in ATL then Detriot followed by hosting Baltimore. After that 3 series stretch the Indians finish with 23 games all against teams that have won just 42% of their games.

SO WILL THE CLEVELAND INDIANS REACH 90 WINS????????
IF SO IS THAT ENOUGH TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS EITHER BY WINNING THEIR DIVISION OR SNAGGING A WILD CARD SPOT???????
