I think the Tribe and Tigers both go the playoffs, although I'm still unsure who will take the division title. Considering how horrible Sowers and Lee have been to this point, things can only get better for the Indians once those guys work through their difficulties.
As to what happens in the playoffs, it's a crapshoot. It will depend which team gets hot at the right time, and the better team doesn't always win. Just ask the Cardinals from last season, or the 2003 Marlins.

I see the Tigers taking the central because, well, I just think they're a great team with the experience down the stretch to get it done. However, I think the Indians should win 95 games, which should be enough to get them the Wild Card barring a major Yankees run down the stretch. In my opinion the Wild Card will be fought for between the Tribe and the Yanks. Hopefully Cleveland takes it because it's nice to see new teams in the mix. I see them making the ALCS at best, the Angels are too strong IMO.

It should be fun. Obviously they will contend with Detroit for the division, and you can probably count on either Minnesota or Chicago to stop sucking and make it more fun, if not both. With the Yankees getting good finally it will be fun. I hope they do make it, but I think they're inexperience will cost them and they lose in the ALDS. Of course, for all we know they could be this year's detroit or chicago, apparently the al central is full of surprises. Oh and you cannot forget that the AL West has also gotten good, and could vie for a wild card spot. BAsically, ask me in a few months when more has been decided. We all know the INdians are infamous for blowing it so. . .

I dont think they will make they playoffs.
The Tigers are built to win the division and they will do what they need to do to win via the trade.
The Indians are solid, but I think they are a year away.
Pitching is good, with CC leading the way, he needs to stay healthy if they have a chance.
Hafner is a stud and is way too tough to get out, and Grady will be a stud for years to come.
The bad thing for the Indians are the Yankees. They are going to win 70% of their games for the rest of their season and win the wildcard.
The Central with the Twins, Tigers and Indians will keep beating each other, because it is a real tough division and the Yankees will squeeze in the WC.

they will make the playoffs I believe unless Wedge gets out managed, which could happen. I think they will be there weather by winning the AL Central or wild card.
I don't think they will lose to Detroit in a playoff situation at least not he way it's going now, they have played well against them this year, however Detroit will have Zumaya and some of their other pitchers back, so Detroit will be tough.
Whatever happens GO INDIANS!!

Yes, they'll make the playoffs. As to whether or not they'll get past the Red Sox, I seriously doubt it. At this point, the Tribe is the second best time in the AL behind Boston.

yeh, definitely. on the off chance that they don't get the division, they'll probalby get the wild card as long as the offense livens up, lol. i can see them getting by the tigers if they were to meet them in the playoffs...the tigers would be the favorite since they went to the WS last year, but that doesn't mean they're that good this year. the only team im really concerned about is the red sox, because, well, they're really good.

They'll make it. The Tribe has a shot for the AL Championship and even maybe the World Series. They have proved that they can beat the top, elite teams.
Go Indians!

They will make the playoffs but then lose in the ALDS series against the Red Sox or the Tigers in 6 games.
