ALDS storylines
Guardians: The Guardians didn’t simply have an excellent bullpen this season. They’d a traditionally nice bullpen. It is the perfect bullpen on file at 13.7 WAR — the following greatest bullpen this 12 months was at 9.1 WAR — and it’s led by all-world nearer Emmanuel Clase, who had a 0.61 ERA in 74 1/3 innings. For Cleveland, the secret is getting simply sufficient offense and simply sufficient beginning pitching, then flip issues over to a deep and various aid crew. They’ve lefties, righties, hard-throwers, changeup specialists, you title it. Steven Kwan, José Ramírez, and Josh Naylor are the keys to the offense. The remainder of the lineup shouldn’t be overly imposing.
Tigers: There’s a “how are they doing it?” vibe to this Tigers staff, however they are doing it, and they’re by no means out of a recreation, because the Astros realized in Recreation 2 of the Wild Card Collection. Supervisor A.J. Hinch makes use of his total bench to combine and match expertly, and the identical goes for the pitching employees behind Skubal. Skubal will be capable to begin Video games 2 and 5 of the ALDS on regular relaxation. If the Guardians deal with enterprise in 4 video games or fewer, they’d solely see the league’s greatest pitcher as soon as within the collection. The Tigers although have proven they’re greater than formidable on the times Skubal doesn’t pitch. Hinch referred to his staff as “chaos” earlier than the Wild Card Collection and that is what the Tigers are. You by no means fairly know what they are going to throw at you.
