The Guardians might not be bring back cassette tapes, but they are making small ball a thing again. Helped by eight games, all at home, the AL Central leaders are slated for a productive week.

The Blue Jays also have eight home tilts, while the Twins begin the week with a five-game set in Cleveland, before heading home for three against a suspect Orioles rotation.

The Diamondbacks, Mets, Tigers and Giants each have the dreaded five-game week.

The Rockies only have six games, but they're all at home with six slated to be against southpaw pitching.
