Cleveland Indians vs. New York Yankees Wild Card Series Preview
The Cleveland Indians (35-25) finished in third place in a crowded AL Central, but don’t let that fool you into thinking they’re an easy out this Fall. They were just one game out of the division win, and they closed out the season nine of their final 11 games.
The credit for this team's success can be spread around, but it starts with third baseman José Ramírez, who earned the Indians’ Triple Crown by leading the team in batting average, home runs and runs batted in. Their game one starting pitcher, Shane Bieber, led the Indians in wins, ERA and strikeouts so if the Yankees can’t touch him, Cleveland may be legit postseason stars.
The New York Yankees (33-27) had a disappointing end to an underperforming season in the Bronx. The Yankees lost six of their final eight games, and finished far behind the Rays in the AL East. Key players like Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge had down years, but they were kept afloat by players like first baseman Luke Voit, who had 22 home runs and 52 runs batted in during the sixty game short season. They also lost a star pitcher, Aroldis Chapman, for part of the season due to a bout with COVID-19. However their game one starting pitcher Gerrit Cole was as good as advertised, with seven wins and 94 strikeouts.
