Our Guardians vs. Yankees expect offensive production to be scarce against Tanner Bibbe and Gerrit Cole.
Tanner Bibee will take the mound for a Game 2 battle with Gerrit Cole in what will be the best pitching matchup of the series. As such, we expect both to be at their best tonight.It was about as convincing of a postseason win as you'll get for the Yankees last night, taking control early and never looking back. Tonight features one of the series's best-projected pitching matchups, and that will be reflected in my Guardians vs. Yankees predictions.
It was a little surprising to see Bibee at the start of the postseason in a scoreless game with 74 pitches, but those 74 pitches spoke to how good he could be. Detroit's offense isn't this Yankees offense, but even so, the Tigers looked lost. It's always difficult to suggest any pitcher can shut down this Yankees lineup, but he's well poised to succeed.
As he's been throughout his career, Cole is a strikeout thrower at his best when he can create swing and miss. Even in one of the worst seasons of his career —this year — he's still posted a strikeout rate in the Top 30% of baseball. Logic would say that if Bibee had been pulled before recording 13 outs, he would have given up runs and put our Under in real danger. However, as I noted earlier, that wasn't the case against the Tigers when he had yet to reach the 75-pitch threshold and was pulled from a scoreless game after recording just 13 outs.
