The Cleveland Indians are just one game away from winning their first World Series since 1948. The Tribe lead the 2016 World Series by a 3-2 margin, but the favored Chicago Cubs aren’t going away just yet.
How We Got Here
The Indians jumped out to a commanding 3-1 series lead, however the Cubs got a huge Game 5 victory at home in the Windy City. That marked the first time the Cubs had won a World Series game at Wrigley Field since 1945, when they beat the Detroit Tigers. The Cubs may very well have won nine more games than the Indians in the regular season, but the Indians have home-field advantage because the American League win the annual All Star.
Game 6 Starters
Jake Arrieta will be getting the start for the Cubs in Game 6. Arrieta already started Game 2 of this World Series, and that proved to be good luck for the Cubs. The Cubs went on to win that game by a 5-1 score as Arrieta allowed just one run. Cubs fans are hoping that will repeat itself. As for the Indians, they will be starting Josh Tomlin, who saw limited action in Game 3 as the Indians won, 1-0. Tomlin pitched just 4.2 innings in Game 3 without a allowing a single run while Andrew Miller took care of the rest.

Incredible isn’t it? If the Cubs find a way to pull off a win in Cleveland, it means they are alive to fight another day.
