The Yankees won their first postseason series in four games, and they enter this matchup with a two-game win streak.

The New York squad has played incredible defense in the playoffs. The team has only allowed five total runs in the last three games, so their pitching staff is playing with a lot of confidence. Carlos Rodon is scheduled to start on the mound for New York this evening, and he ended the regular season with a 16-9 record. However, he conceded four runs in his first postseason start this year, so he will try to bounce back tonight.

The Guardians were able to overcome a 2-1 series deficit last week, as they won back-to-back elimination games to keep their season alive. In their most recent game, Cleveland defeated Detroit 7-3. Notably, Cleveland’s center fielder Lane Thomas hit a grand slam in the fifth inning, which helped Cleveland secure the victory.
