Tonight at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio, the New York Yankees will face the Cleveland Indians, which might be the most important game the Yankees will have in this coronavirus postseason. Two of arguably the best pitchers in baseball will face each other in the matchup to win the first of the three games of the Wild Card round, of the 2020 postseason. The Yankee’s Gerrit Cole will face the Indian’s Shane Beiber, who has a lock on the 2020 Cy Young Award.
The New York Yankees had an up and down season with long stretches of wins and losses, as they suffered injuries reminiscent of the 2019 season, when they had an unprecedented number of injuries to 30 players in 39 separate incidences.
