Cleveland Indians: Weekly Power Ranking Roundup 8/25

Where do the Cleveland Indians rank in the latest MLB power rankings? Here’s a look at multiple media outlets updated rankings heading into the final week of August action.

The Cleveland Indians are nearly halfway through the sprint that is the 60-game 2020 season.

Through 29 games, the Indians are 17-12 on the season and sit two and a half games behind the Minnesota Twins for the AL Central lead.

If the season ended today, the Indians would make the postseason as the AL Central’s second-place finisher. This would put them in a group of AL Wild Card teams that as of Tuesday includes the Tampa Bay Rays Houston Astros, Chicago White Sox and Toronto Blue Jays.

Last week, the Indians put together a 4-2 record as they swept a three-game series from the Pittsburgh Pirates but dropped two out of three to the Detroit Tigers in their first series loss to Detroit since 2018.

Cleveland opened this week with a 3-2 loss to the Twins in the first of a three-game set at Progressive Field. After their final two-games with the Twins at Progressive Field, they’ll travel west for a three-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals.
