For the past two years, the Cleveland Indians and Kansas City Royals have rounded out the bottom of the AL Central. Through the first two weeks of this season, the two are leading the division.

Two of the biggest surprises in baseball open a four-game series Monday night when the Indians, winners of 11 of 13, visit a Royals team looking to bounce back from its first loss in five games.

Cleveland was 69-93 last season while Kansas City finished last in the Central at 67-95. The teams finished tied for last in the division in 2009 with 97 losses apiece.So far this season, the two are the Central’s only teams with winning records. The Indians (11-4) are off to their best start since 2002, and haven’t opened 12-4 since 1999. They didn’t win their 11th game last season until May 9.

Cleveland is coming off Sunday’s 4-2 victory over Baltimore for its third series sweep of the season.

The Indians received a big lift from Grady Sizemore, who homered and doubled in his return to the lineup after being out since last May while recovering from left knee surgery. The three-time All-Star hit in his customary leadoff spot.

Cleveland has been winning despite a slow start from Shin-Soo Choo, who is batting .214 with six RBIs. A series against Kansas City (10-5) could help the right fielder get on track.

Choo hit .377 with four homers, six doubles, 20 RBIs and a .488 on-base percentage to help the Indians go 10-8 against the Royals in 2010. In 22 games in Kansas City since 2008, Choo is hitting .404 with 20 RBIs, his highest totals in both categories for a visiting ballpark.

The Royals are 7-3 at Kauffman Stadium this season, and are off to their best start since opening 11-4 in 2003.

The Royals and the Indians battle in a surprising first place duel, and the Royals come out on top.
