The World Series has a long history of pitching duels between the game's top arms.
A majority of the pitchers left playing in the Major League Baseball postseason are not on the top-tier list of starters across the majors.
Only Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodon can make a strong case to be placed on that list, and if the New York Yankees win the ALCS, they will start Games 1 and 2 of the Fall Classic.
The rosters of the New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers and Cleveland Guardians might not have the top hurlers in the game, but with the way some of them performed in the postseason, they have the potential to set up intriguing pitching battles in the World Series.
