OK, we have two days until game 1. Here's a thread all pre-series chatter.

Francona won't be managing the Indians against the Yanks. Alomar certainly has some history against the Yanks in the playoffs.

I think it's safe to say that Higgy will be starting game 1 with Cole.

Here's the game time schedules. As expected, Yankees/Indians get the prime time slot.

One good thing about Cleveland their offense is not very good. They have a team .226 average and only 57 home runs. That's good for last in hr in the AL and 13/15 in average. So this isn't a team of power hitters therefore that should be good for the Yankee pitchers who give up home runs a lot.
Anyway let's go back to Bieber's last start versus the Yankees.

Yea you're right. The offense minus Jose Ramirez isn't very good. How was Bieber's last start versus the Yankees? |

That's what worried me about the White Sox, they hit a lot of HR's and Yankee pitchers give them up. If Cole can dominate this Indian lineup, the Yanks have a good chance of taking game one. |

Yea and I think Playoff Tanaka can outduel Carrasco. |

Here's Bieber's stats against the Yankees:
Not much history. Gardner took him deep once. I hope that doesn't tempt Boone to play him over Frazier.

Bieber won the MLB's pitcher's triple crown, so he's a different pitcher this year. He need Cole to at least match him. |

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Just be thankful the lineup is fully healthy! My prediction: Yanks in 2.

I am not sure. Judge is not hitting that well. We have few home runs recently
