Game Preview
Things have lined up quite nicely for the Guardians, all things considered. Sure, they have to face a team that finished in the top three of every major category with a lineup that features the guy that hit 62 home runs (not an MLB record) in the regular season. But at least they get their best pitchers in the first three games. There will be no easy matchups for the Guardians offense because, while Yankee bats get all the attention, they feature a top-flight pitching staff that is also well-rested without a Wild Card weekend.
After a 99-win campaign that saw them basically go wire-to-wire to win the AL East, the New York Yankees will take on the Cleveland Guardians in the ALDS. The Yankees are -220 favorites to win the best-of-5 series, which starts on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. New York carries some of the best sluggers in baseball on its roster, led by new AL home run king Aaron Judge, but it may have a tough time scoring runs against a pitching staff that gave up nine hits in its first two playoff games.
Cleveland showcased its brilliant arms in the two games against Tampa Bay. Shane Bieber and Triston McKenzie were tremendous in their respective starts, and the bullpen followed through with some near-flawless pitching. Bieber struck out eight batters and conceded one earned run on three hits in 7.2 innings in Game 1.
McKenzie fanned eight over six scoreless innings in Game 2. Guardians’ manager Terry Francona should not be pressured to rush Bieber and McKenzie back to the mound since the ALDS is a best-of-five series.
It’s easy to say the Yankees need Judge to thrive to make a deep postseason run, but there may be some looming concerns about the slugger since the last two weeks of the regular season did not go as planned.
