ALCS storylines
Yankees: The Yankees are within the ALCS for the second time in three years and the fourth time in eight years. However for the primary time since 2012, they will not must undergo the Astros. Houston eradicated the Yankees within the 2017, 2019, and 2022 ALCS. The Astros have already been eradicated and the path to the AL pennant is as clear for New York because it has been in a while. To go to their first World Sequence since 2009, they will want Aaron Choose to be higher than he was within the ALDS (2 for 13), and for Giancarlo Stanton and Gerrit Cole to proceed their October excellence. The Yankees is not going to, nonetheless, be capable of lean on their bullpen as closely within the ALCS as they did within the ALDS. The ALDS had an additional off-day this yr, so New York was in a position to make use of go-to relievers Clay Holmes and Luke Weaver in all 4 ALDS video games with out overworking them. The remainder of the bullpen should decide up some slack within the ALCS, given the tighter schedule.
Guardians: The Guardians are making their first ALCS look since 2016, after they gained the pennant earlier than shedding to the Cubs within the World Sequence. Cleveland, after all, has not gained a World Sequence since 1948 — that is the longest such drought in all of MLB. The Guardians leaned closely on their bullpen throughout the ALDS vs. the Tigers, deploying no less than 5 totally different pitchers in every contest. Cleveland’s rookie supervisor Stephen Vogt will presumably proceed that strategy in opposition to the Yankees.
