Feller foresees near 30 wins as Indians lead surge
Cleveland’s Bob Feller, after his 20th win to lift first place, dodges a precise prediction and relies on math. He guesses if he starts 12 more games he could reach about 29 or 30 victories, noting his arm feels fine despite a stiff neck from a train ride. He sees Cleveland–Detroit as the likely pennant pairing and Cincinnati in an all Ohio World Series. He also cites varying relief assignments and Sept open dates shaping his total.
