The New York Yankees should be up 3-0 to the Cleveland Guardians in the ALCS but they blew it last night, up 5-3 with 2 out in the 9th and Cleveland went on to win it 7-5 in extras. Tonight, the Yankees will try to not make that mistake again and are expected to send Luis Gil to the bump. When Gil is on he is lethal, but at times he can be a little erratic. Let’s hope tonight it’s the former. Gil will be making his postseason debut. In the regular season he had great numbers, with a record of 15-7, a 3.50 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. The Guardians are expected to give the nod to Gavin Williams and the Bombers should be able to get to this guy. Williams will also be making his postseason debut. In the regular season, he was 3-10 with a 4.86 ERA, a 1.37 WHIP, and Cleveland 0-7 in his last 7 home starts. The Yankees have the edge in runs per game, run differential, homers, and are the better team on the diamond tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES
