The Guardians, after making quick work of the Rays, move on to face the AL East champion Yankees in the divisional series. Game 1 will be Tuesday, October 11 at Yankee Stadium. Cleveland struggled against the Bombers this season, going just 1-5, including being swept at Yankee Stadium in late April. Working in the Guardians’ favor is the extended layoff that the Yankees need to adjust to due to their bye for the wild-card round. Check back soon for a full preview of the ALDS matchup!
