In the top of the first Tanner Bibee will get his second chance of the series to help us cash an NRFI. He didn’t manage to finish the job the first time, but it was not entirely his fault. In the first inning a Brayan Rocchio error led to the Yankees getting on the board early. While the Yankees did continue to get to him in the next inning, there’s no telling how much of the damage was because of that run gave away. Additionally, I think Bibee will find his way based on how he looked in his other two playoff starts. He managed to allow just two earned runs in 8.2 innings in the prior series.
I also like Carlos Rodon’s chances to keep things blank in the first inning. His story is pretty much the opposite of Bibee’s. He got roughed up a bit in his early playoff start, but then returned to form last time out. He held the Guardians scoreless through six innings in game one before eventually allowing a dinger to the aforementioned Brayan Rocchio. All we need is three outs here for the NRFI to cash and I think he’ll easily deliver that yet again.
