Definelty not off topic. We're pretty loose around here, if you haven't noticed. You're in a baseball thread, talking baseball. Perfect.
As to your question, I think the Indians are in worst shape right now. Chicago is hitting the ball, and Buhrle is doing fine. They need for Floyd and Danks to get their shit together. They are both better than what they've shown this season. I think that Colon may be done. He's no where near where he was the year he won the Cy Young Award. They are only a couple of decent pitchers away from moving up in the division. Of course, losing Carlos Quentin for some unknown period of time will really hurt them.
Cleveland seems to still be reeling from the loss of Sabathia. Martinez is providing most of their offense, although Sizemore has hit some HR too. But Sizemore is only hitting .220 and that is just awful for a leadoff hitter. Cliff Lee has done nothing this year (2-5??? 63 hits in 54 innings??) and the best pitcher they have right now is Carl Pavano. When did you ever think you'd hear that? I think Cleveland has much less chance of turning things around. And Eric Wedge is a very good manager, but he's no Ozzie Guillen.
What do you think?

There's no crying in baseball
