RELIEVERS: CLE, DET, HOU, MIA, MIL and NYM

This week, the pens under review are Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, Miami, Milwaukee, and then a little bit about the Mets. Starting with the Indians...

Cleveland has struggled in the pen so far in 2018. This unexpected development has a lot to do with Andrew Miller's (LHP, CLE) injuries. But it also points to a thin line behind closer Cody Allen (RHP, CLE) and Miller as the Indians move pieces around trying to find the right group. Here is the current group over the past 30 days:

CLE (L30)           Sv BS Hld  IP   DOM  CMD HR/9  xERA  BPV Clean/App  LI
==================  == == === ==== ==== ==== ====  ====  === ========= ====
C.Allen              8  0  0  13.0 12.5  6.0  2.8  3.09  184    9/14   1.46
A.Miller (L)         0  2  1   3.0...

Almost!
