I'm backing Gerrit Cole and his 7-3 record and 2.84 ERA here in game 1 on Tuesday night. He takes the mound for New York, while Cleveland counters with Shane Bieber. Bieber has an 8.31 ERA in two career starts against the Yankees and Cole is 3-1 with a 2.50 ERA in five career starts vs the Indians. Sanchez will sit today the Yanks. In his final three starts of the current season Cole went 3-0 while pitching seven innings in each one getting him primed up for the playoffs. The Yankees are finally healthy and we'll back them here tonight.
