The New York Yankees with their deep and powerful lineup were silenced by the Indians in Game 1. That lineup, led by the 52 HRs by Aaron Judge, saw him fan four times. The Yankees have had few answers against Cleveland and this evening they are going to have to solve a pitcher that has held them in check every time he has faced them. Corey Kluber is a bonafide Cy Young candidate for Cleveland, posting 18 wins against just four losses. Kluber has also been an ace in the postseason where he is 4-1 in six starts backed by a powerful 1.83 ERA. The Yankees have been on his long victim list as well, as he has dominated the Bronx Bombers to the tune of a 5-1 record and 1.80 ERA. The current roster of Yankees has a woeful collective average against him of .155. It is hard to see CC Sabathia keeping the Yankees in this huge mismatch on the mound. Back Cleveland to win by at least a pair of runs.
