Tonight, the Cleveland Indians will take on the New York Yankees while the Red Sox face the Astros. Expect the Indians game to turn into a bullpen game given how good and deep their pitching staff. For the record, I will predict a Indians-Astros ALCS.
Last night, the Diamondbacks beat the Rockies, 11-8. The Diamondbacks jumped to a 6-0 lead but the Rockies ended up making it a game. They cut the deficit to one run but both times, a two-run triple by A.J. Pollock ended up killing them. Arizona had four triples in the game, first time that had been done in the playoffs since the 1903 Red Sox. They will move to Los Angeles to face the Dodgers.
