Two things not mentioned in the article...
1) Strength of schedule is obviously determined by opponents record. Cleveland present SOS is lowered by winning five games over the Twins. Its future SOS is lowered by those five games, too. In both cases, the Twins SOS's are higher, because of those losses to Cleveland.
2) A lot of the future may be dependent upon acquisitions made at the deadline...but Cleveland is gonna get the equivalent of a solid starting pitching addition within the next few weeks in Gavin Williams. That looks like a big boost to Clevelands biggest weakness.
