The Tribe made a gallant effort this season and contended for a long time, but as the sand sifts through the hour glass time is no longer on their side. They sit four games back of the second Wild Card playoffs spot, but with just 10 games remaining and two teams to pass, they have no realistic chance. Minnesota sits at 22 games under .500, but there is a catch. They have been 18-12 or a .600 team behind Phil Hughes who has seemed to have a rebirth with new scenery out of the Big Apple. Hughes has been even better of late as his control has been pinpoint, walking just one batter in his last six starts, and is off an 11 strikeout performance in his last outing. Hughes has a lot of incentive to go deep here as he picks up a cool half a million if he logs 210 innings this season, and needs 15 more in his last two starts. Go with Hughes and Minnesota.
