I don't trust either starting pitcher - Alex Cobb, or Carlos Rodon - and Cleveland's bullpen carries a high fatigue rating despite being idle on Sunday.

Cobb has thrown only 22 1/3 innings this season. The veteran is far from his prime. Cobb last pitched against the Tigers in the playoffs five days ago. He threw 41 pitches in three innings giving up two earned runs on three hits. Now he's facing a Yankees team that led the majors in homers and finished third in runs. Cleveland's top four relievers have thrown a combined 185 pitches in its last two games. 

Rodon wasn't sharp in his playoff start, giving up four runs on seven hits in 3 2/3 innings in a 4-2 loss to the Royals a week ago. The Guardians are averaging 6 runs in their last two games.
