The Cleveland Guardians will try to beat the Yankees in a playoff series for the first time since they did it in the 2007 ALCS. What has to happen for them be successful?
After dispatching the Detroit Tigers in a close, hard-fought series, the Guardians now take on a team that is - on paper - much better than the Tigers, and the Guardians, in both starting pitching and hitting. Oh, and the Yankees pen was sensational against the Royals in winning the ALCS. Can this team with a payroll half the size of the Yankees' number find a way to slay the Gotham Giant?
