The New York Yankees took Cleveland to the woodshed in the opener of this best-of-three AL Wild Card series, beating them by nine runs. I think the Yankees will close out the series tonight.

Yankees' starter Masahiro Tanaka (3-3, 3.56 ERA) is clutch in the playoffs, boasting a 1.76 ERA in postseason games. Pitching on the road here should not affect Tanaka who posted a 2.33 ERA in four away starts during the regular season. The Tribe counter with Carlos Carrasco (3-4, 2.91 ERA) who is 2-3 with a 3.03 ERA at home this season.

Yankees are 11-3 in their last 14 playoff games as a favorite. Indians are 0-7 in their last 7 playoff games as an underdog.

8* play on NY Yankees.
