New York Yankees Form

New York have the opportunity to clinch the American League Championship Series, having taken a 3-1 lead last night.

The Yankees earned home field advantage for this series and took full advantage in the first couple of games as they beat Cleveland 5-2 and 6-3.

They failed to make it three wins in a row on Thursday night, losing 7-5 in Cleveland, but they rebounded 24 hours later with a 8-6 victory that has them on the brink of the World Series.

New York have been in excellent form in the postseason so far, winning six of their eight games.

The Yankees began the postseason by splitting the first two games of the series with Kansas City, but quickly rebounded from a Game 2 defeat with 3-2 and 2-1 wins to advance.

Cleveland Guardians Form

Cleveland go into tonight's game knowing that they must now win three straight matchups with New York or their season is ove.

The Guardians dug themselves into a hole in the 'Big Apple' as they lost the first two meetings with the Yankees, 5-2 and 6-3.

They finally got off the mark when they returned home for Game 3, winning 7-5, but they failed to back that up last night as they lost 8-6, leaving them one defeat away from elimination.

Cleveland are no strangers to long series, having needed five games to get past Detroit in the Division round.

The Guardians trailed 2-1 in that series too, but battled back to force a Game 5 decider with the Tigers, which they won 5-4.

Verdict

New York are firmly in control of this series and have now won three of their last five in Cleveland.

Carlos Rodon helped set them on their way to a 5-2 victory in Game 1, and we expect repeat scenes when he heads to the mound tonight.
