KEY GAME INFORMATION
CINCINNATI: 2016: 68-94, fifth place
Manager: Bryan Price (third season)
Who's new? RHP Scott Feldman, RHP Drew Storen, RHP Lisalverto Bonilla, OF Ryan Raburn, OF Desmond Jennings, IF/OF Arismendy Alcantara
Who's gone? 2B Brandon Phillips, C Ramon Cabrera, RHP Dan Straily, RHP Ross Ohlendorf, RHP Alfredo Simon, LHP John Lamb, RHP Josh Smith
Projected lineup: CF Billy Hamilton (.260, 3 HR, 17 RBI, 58 SB), SS Zack Cozart (.252, 16, 50), 1B Joey Votto (.326, 29, 97), LF Adam Duvall (.241, 33, 103), RF Scott Schebler (.265, 9, 40), 3B Eugenio Suarez (.248, 21, 70), C Devin Mesoraco (.140, 0, 1 in 16 games), 2B Jose Peraza (.324, 3, 25, 21 SB)
Rotation: RH Anthony DeSclafani (9-5, 3.28 ERA), RH Scott Feldman (7-4, 3.97 with Astros and Blue Jays), LH Brandon Finnegan (10-11, 3.98), RH Tim Adleman (4-4, 4.00), RH Robert Stephenson (2-3, 6.08) or Cody Reed (0-7, 7.36) or Amir Garrett (2-5, 3.46 for Triple-A Louisville)
Key relievers: RH Raisel Iglesias (3-2, 2.53, 6/8 SV), RH Drew Storen (3-0, 3.44 with Mariners), RH Michael Lorenzen (2-1, 2.88), LH Tony Cingrani (2-5, 4.14, 17/23 SV), RH Jumbo Diaz (1-1, 3.14), RH Blake Wood (6-5, 3.99) Hot spot: Rotation. The Reds' rebuilding effort is just beginning to bear fruit on the mound. DeSclafani, 26, made a big leap in his second full season in 2016. Finnegan, 23, will try to do the same this year. If the next wave of pitchers isn't ready for the major leagues, Stephenson, Reed, Garrett, Sal Romano and Rookie Davis would make a mean rotation at Triple-A. Meanwhile, 40-year-old Bronson Arroyo will try to hold down a job like it's 2004.
Outlook: After trading Phillips to the Braves, only Votto and pitcher Homer Bailey remain from the Reds' last season as a contending team. Cincinnati was basically a .500 team (36-37) after the All-Star break last season, so maybe a return to respectability isn't far off. Hamilton and infielder Jose Peraza, electric on the bases and in the field, have breakout potential. There might not be another star on the roster besides Votto, but that's OK for now. With no veterans blocking their best prospects, the Reds can use this season to figure out what their system holds.
CLEVELAND: 2016: 94-67, first place, AL champions, lost to Chicago Cubs in World Series.
Manager: Terry Francona (fifth season). He's Here: 1B-DH Edwin Encarnacion, OF Austin Jackson, LHP Boone Logan, RHP Carlos Frias, OF Wily Mo Pena, CF Bradley Zimmer, SS Eric Stamets. He's Outta Here: 1B-DH Mike Napoli, OF Coco Crisp, OF Rajai Davis, C Chris Gimenez, 1B Jesus Aguilar, OF Marlon Byrd, RHP Jeff Manship.
Projected lineup: SS Francisco Lindor (.301, 15 HRs, 78 RBIs, Gold Glove, league-leading 15 sac flies in first full MLB season), 2B Jason Kipnis (.275, 23, 82, career-high 156 games), LF Michael Brantley (.231, 0, 7 in 11 games following shoulder surgery; .310, 15, 84, MLB-best 45 doubles, 15 SBs in 2015), DH Edwin Encarnacion (.263, 42, AL-high 142 RBIs for Toronto), 1B Carlos Santana (.259, 34, 87, 99 BBs, 99 Ks), 3B Jose Ramirez (.312, 11, 76, played 4 positions) or Giovanny Urshela (.225, 6, 21 in 81 games for Cleveland), RF Brandon Guyer (.333, 2, 14 in 38 games with Indians; .241, 7, 18 in 63 games with Rays; led majors with 31 HBP) or Lonnie Chisenhall (.286, 8, 57), C Yan Gomes (.167, 9, 34 in 74 games due to shoulder injury), CF Tyler Naquin (.296, 14, 43) or Austin Jackson (.254, 0, 18 in 54 games with White Sox before left knee surgery).
Rotation: RH Corey Kluber (18-9, 3.14 ERA, 227 Ks, third in Cy Young voting), RH Carlos Carrasco (11-8, 3.32, 25 starts due to injuries), RH Danny Salazar (11-6, 3.87, 25 starts, limited in postseason by injury), RH Trevor Bauer (12-8, 4.26, 28 starts, began season in bullpen), RH Josh Tomlin (13-9, 4.40, 5.90 strikeout-to-walk ratio).
Key relievers: LH Andrew Miller (10-1, 1.45, 12 saves, 70 appearances with Yankees and Indians), RH Cody Allen (3-5, 2.51, 32/35 saves), RH Bryan Shaw (2-5, 3.24 in league-high 75 games; 70 games in each of past four seasons), RH Dan Otero (5-1, 1.53, 70 2/3 innings), LH Boone Logan (2-5, 3.69, 66 games with Rockies). Hot Spot: Brantley's Right Shoulder. An All-Star in 2014, Brantley missed out on the fun last season as the Indians won the pennant without him. His return is vital for Cleveland as it tries to make another deep run because he can help provide lineup protection for Encarnacion and stabilize an outfield that was under constant change in 2016. Brantley may not hit for the same extra-base power he had in the past, but he could still offer a high average and excellent defense.
Outlook: With perhaps the league's deepest pitching staff, the Indians are an AL favorite and appear poised to return to the World Series. Last year, they exceeded expectations and built a 3-1 Series lead against the Cubs before losing three straight ' including a dramatic Game 7 at home. One elusive win from the franchise's first championship since 1948. This season, the Indians will try to finish the job. There are injury concerns with Brantley and Kipnis, who won't be ready for the start of the season because of shoulder inflammation. Ramirez could slide over to help fill in at second base. But the addition of Encarnacion finally gives Cleveland the intimidating, middle-of-the-order slugger the club has coveted since the glory days of Jim Thome, Manny Ramirez and Albert Belle. Cleveland is a baseball town again as Indians fans spent on tickets this winter and are rallying around the club the way they did back in the mid-1990s. Lindor is on the cusp of superstardom, and one of the Indians' top priorities should be signing him to a long-term deal while he's still affordable.
PREVIEW
Reds, Indians ready for season finale of 'Battle of Ohio'
 

CLEVELAND -- It's called "The Battle of Ohio" and there is actually a trophy awarded to the winner each year. Thursday night, the Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds will meet for the fourth and final time in 2017.

The Reds have won two of the first three games of the series, meaning the best the Indians can do is split this year's series, with a win Thursday night.

That may not be easy, however, because the Indians are playing at home, where they inexplicably have struggled. The Indians have lost three games in a row, and five of their last seven at Progressive Field. The Indians' home record of 8-11 is the worst in the American League.

It's been going so bad for the Indians at home that Wednesday night they lost a game after turning what appeared to be a game-ending double play, only to have it overturned by video review. That turned a 3-2 victory into a 4-3 loss.

On the plus side, the Indians may soon be getting back their ace, Corey Kluber. Kluber has been on the disabled list since May 3 with a strained lower back. He is scheduled to make a rehab start at Triple-A Columbus on Thursday, after which Indians officials will meet to decide whether to activate Kluber off the disabled list or have him make one more rehab start.

"We need to hear a lot of opinions from everyone and make the best decision we can," Francona said.

In the meantime, right-hander Mike Clevinger (2-1, 1.56), who has been very impressive in replacing Kluber in the rotation, will start for the Indians Thursday night against Reds righty Tim Adleman (2-2, 6.19).

Clevinger is coming off the best start of his major league career. In a 3-0 win over Houston on May 10, Clevinger pitched seven scoreless innings on two hits, with eight strikeouts and two walks.

Clevinger started the season with Triple-A Columbus, where in 23 starts over the last two years he is 14-2 with a 2.63 ERA. He was recalled from Columbus on May 7.

Adelman will make his eighth appearance of the season, his seventh straight start. It will be his second career appearance vs. the Indians. His previous appearance against Cleveland came on May 19 of last year, a 7-2 loss in which he pitched 3 1/3 innings, giving up three hits, two runs, and two walks, with three strikeouts.

Although the Reds are two games under .500 at 22-24, Manager Bryan Price feels that his team is playing better than that record indicates.

"We're kind of in a weird place," Price said. "We're playing pretty good. It's just that in some games one bad inning does it."

The Reds seem to be picking up some momentum playing the Indians this week. The Reds' rousing 4-3 win on Wednesday was one of their best of the year, coming as it did with a ninth-inning rally against a Cleveland bullpen that is considered one of the best in baseball.

But according to Francona, the middle of the Reds' lineup is one of the best, and most overlooked, in the majors.

"You may not hear a lot about them, but there's a lot of production there in the middle of their order," Francona said. "They can hit the ball a long way. If you make a mistake against them, you pay for it."

The Reds are the only team in the majors with four players with 10 or more home runs: Scott Schebler (13), Joey Votto (12), Adam Duvall (10) and Eugenio Suarez, (10).
