The Guardians came a way with a victory in Game one, when the Rays couldn't score more than a single run. This is not a new phenomenon; they managed just 1 or less runs in 6 of their last 9 games, and are hitting just .157 against right-handers in that time. The Rays runs for/against is an unhealthy 2.3/3.7, compared to the Guardians' 4.6/2.85. The Guardians are also hitting a robust .286 against right-handers of late.
Glasnow has pitched well in his only 2 games of the season, but lasted just 3+ inning in each, and Tampa was unable to capitalize either time. He may pitch longer, but in game two of the wild card series everyone is available in relief. Triston MacKenzie starts for the Guardians. He out-dueled Glasnow and the Rays in a 2-1 victory just last week. MacKenzie has been all but unhittable at times this season, and can also pitch for length. Yogi Berra probably said something to the effect of "If you can't score, you can't win." These words seem particularly applicable to the Rays at the moment. My money is on Cleveland, at home, to finish the Rays off in Game Two.
