Yeah in a 3 game series to me it is 50/50. Most of the teams have pretty good 1-2 starters, I could see a lot of these games going to the pivotal game 3, where anything can happen. For me the one thing I do like with Indians is we do have one of the best 3rd starters in the league with Plesac, and being able to play at home with no crowd noise I think helps him and some of the younger guys.
The main worry I have is that the Yankees are a great power team, and Bieber and Plesac tend to allow runs it is from the deep ball. With how our offense has been so hit or miss, we could see our staff give up 2-3 runs in a game and lose easily. While the Yankees bullpen has been shaky, they still have playoff experience and Chapman to back them up.
The other thing that is going to be interesting is how the new bullpen rule will effect the playoffs. In the shorten regular season it seemed to have some impact, but when you are in a tight game, it is going to be interesting in how the managers manage the bullpen.
