2024 ALDS - Games Three and Four

Each series is tied heading into game three, and all four teams will want to conclude these series as quickly as possible. For Cleveland, they do not want to face Tigers ace Tarik Skubal in a game five, so they will go all out to try and win this series on the road. Detroit will embrace their pitching chaos, but that will be quite a lot of pressure on the young arms in the bullpen, all of whom are experiencing the postseason for the first time. Expect both managers to utilize nearly all of their 26 man roster to try and take this series.

For the Yankees, it is unclear if Aaron Judge will reverse his postseason woes, though they might not even need him to eke out this series. Giancarlo Stanton and Gleyber Torres have rediscovered their form, and the pitching has quieted down the Royals bats. Bobby Witt jr. has yet to find his stroke, and the rest of the Kansas City lineup has struggled to come through with the big hit. If the Yanks take game three, expect ace Gerrit Cole to deliver in the clincher.
