Who is the starting pitcher?
protector: Cleveland ace Sean Bieber (-8, 2.88 ERA) got the ball in Game 2. Because he starts the first game of the wild-card series on Friday, the Guardians want to give him plenty of rest on the rubber before bringing him back, which means using Cal Quantrill in Game 1 of the ALDS and waiting for more than 10,000 players. Bo started until the second game. He was almost flawless in Friday’s start, allowing just three hits in a 7 2/3 inning against Tampa Bay.
Yankees
: Southpaw Nestor Cortez ( -4, 2.13 era) is one of the best regular-season stories in baseball, where he made the All-Star Game, where he even broke out with one of his funky “Nasty Nestor” deliveries.

How is the bullpen arranged after the start?
Guardians: in the first With a day off after games, Cleveland has no concerns about its bullpen. The team is still hoping to get the ball close to Emmanuel Clase as soon as possible, but players like Trevor Stephan and James Karinchak will be good in the seventh or eighth if needed.
Yankees
: When Jonathan Loesgar, Vandy Peral When Tower and Clay Holmes combined, we got a sneak peek at how Boone planned to get through the final inning of Game 1 to replace Cole in the final eight.

Any precautions?
Guardian

Who is hot and who is not?
Guardians: Considering the club’s share of offense Quite a rough start to the playoffs, but Kwan and Ramirez showed signs of heating up in Game 1 as they each had multiplayer performances. Despite his doubles, Jimenez has been virtually silent since the playoffs began, going 2 for 2 with seven strikeouts.
Yankees
: Rizzo’s two-run homer in the sixth inning of Game 1 proved his power hitting. Rizzo hit three home runs in six games in the regular season and playoffs this season against Cleveland. Judge went 0 with 3 strikeouts, a walk and a run in Game 1. Torres was one of the Yankees’ most efficient hitters before battling an illness in the final month of the regular season. He didn’t hit in all three of his first innings.
Anything else fans want to know?
• Major League Baseball is keeping a close eye on Thursday’s weather forecast. Possible rain could alter the schedule and could push Game 2 until Friday. That’s a problem for the Guardians, who might consider giving Bieber a short rest on Monday if the series goes into Game 5. But if Bieber doesn’t start until Friday instead of Thursday, that eliminates the chance that he’ll be able to come back soon on the rubber.
• Boone says he’s not sure the Yankees will How to handle potential rain, although the most likely scenario is to keep Cortez and Severino in line for games two and three. In that case, Kerr could play a potential Game 4 with a regular break. If a Game 5 is needed, the Yankees could consider Jameson Taillon, Domingo German or a bullpen game.
