Shane Bieber versus Nestor Cortes is the marquee matchup of the ALDS

It’s weird to think that Shane Bieber has pitched in Cleveland for the last five years but only started two playoff games, but here we are.

Despite playing on winning teams all but one year of his career, Bieber is still a baby when it comes to postseason experience. He wasn’t cemented as a fixture in the rotation yet in 2018, and he bombed against the Bronx Bomers in the only game he got to pitch in the 2020 playoffs. But now, two years after the Yankees knocked him off the national stage in front of basically no one in-person, he has a shot at revenge.
