The New York Yankees are gearing up to face off against the Cleveland Indians in the first game of the Wild-Card series on Tuesday evening.
In a pitchers duel, featuring Gerrit Cole and Shane Bieber, both teams have their best on the mound. This is an instant classic given the quality of both arms — the Yankees leading up to their first postseason appearance this season haven’t brewed much optimism.
The Bombers have simply just been from the Bronx, with their inability to spark offensive fire-power on a daily basis. Going into the series, they scored 16 total runs over five games, after posting 46 in three games against the Toronto Blue Jays a few weeks ago.
