The New York Yankees and the Cleveland Guardians will kick off their ALDS tonight in the Bronx. The Yankees have the Guardians’ number, going 5-1 over the last 6 meetings and outscoring them 38-14 over that span. Tonight’s expected starters are Gerrit Cole for New York and Cal Quantrill for Cleveland. Quantrill comes in at 15-5 with a 3.38 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP. Cole has similar numbers, at 13-8, with a 3.50 ERA, a 1.02 WHIP, and he is 2-0 this year against the Guardians with a nasty ERA of only 1.42. The Bombers are always tough at The Stadium and the bleacher creatures will be in rare form.
