It’s almost July. The Indians are 46-30 and have a 6 game lead in the Central over the defending World Series champs. They have a 23-12 record at home and own the second best run differential (+88) in all of baseball. They’ve won 11 of their last 11 games.

You ask me who their MVP so far this season is?

Jose Ramirez. And it ain’t that close.
