The shocking thing isn't really that Cleveland won.
I thought on paper this was a very evenly matched series.

But Toronto had just 2 HRs in the series.
The power just didn't show up for the Blue Jays. A big credit to the Indians pitching staff.

The series was a lot closer than the end result seems though. Really when you look at the actual batting stats, hits, and pitching stats the teams were really close. Biggest difference really was that the Jays starters were giving up untimely home runs, and the Jays batters were not making the Indians pay for their mistakes.

Game 1: 2-0 Indians

Hits: 7-6 Blue Jays
HR: 2 Run HR for Lindor

Game 2: 2-1 Indians

Hits: 4-3 Indians
HR: Solo HR for Santana

Game 3: 4-2 Indians

Hits: 7-7
Home Runs: Napoli Solo HR, Kipnis Solo HR

Game 4: 5-1 Jays

Hits: 9-2 Jays
HR: Donaldson Solo HR

Game 5: 3-0 Indians

Hits: 6-6
HR: Crisp Solo HR, Santana Solo HR

The main difference in the series were the Home runs. The Indians didn't outhit they Jays at all, or play "small ball" any better than the Jays did. (Outside of Game 4 where the Jays outhit the Indians 9-2, the hits were even 23-23).

The difference in the series was that the Indians hit 6 home runs, and the Jays only hit 1 HR. Jays batters let the Indians pitchers get away with mistakes and every time a Jays pitcher made a mistake it was crushed.

Even the bullpens were close outside of IP (which was all from the Bauer start).

Jays bullpen: 12.2 - 0 ER
Indians bullpen: 22 Innings Pitched - 4 ER

Cleveland infield defence is the unsung hero in this series. Lindor and Kipnis kept a lot of runners from advancing with some great plays catching up to balls in the middle infield that should have been hits.

That being said, I didn't know my Jays were so hated haha.

We need more speed and hitters that can hit situationally. Pitching staff is mad strong though, which can always carry a team. We will lose Bautista but his best days are behind him. Need to resign Edwin and get a real leadoff hitter.
