[upbeat music] Let's jump straight into segment one, the series and the pitching probables.
It's night baseball, the energy is electric, but the real story is who is on the mound for Cleveland.
They need a starter who can go deep into the game to save their tired bullpen.
[horn honking]
Exactly.
Cleveland is in a bind.
Their regular rotation has been taxed heavily over games one and two.
If they don't get quality starts, they're forced to use relievers as starters, which is a recipe for disaster in the playoffs.
They have fresh arms available.
We saw Hagen Smith thrive out of the bullpen in game one, almost like a complete game performance from a starter.
[crowd cheering]
And Eric Fedde delivered that quality start in game two, just like you predicted.
He was sharp.
He kept the Guardians off balance, and he gave the offense enough runway to pull ahead.
But tonight, if Chicago wants to control the tempo, they might need to look deeper into that roster.
We have Sean Burke, Anthony Kay, Davis Martin, Noah Schultz, and Hagen Smith listed as starters.
Who stands out? [notification bell dinging]
His velocity has been elite, and his ability to miss bats makes him a dangerous option in a high-leverage situation.
However, the decision comes down to workload management.
If they wanna protect their primary relievers for game four or five, they need a starter who can eat innings.
That puts the pressure on the Cleveland side even more.
If their starter goes six strong, Chicago has to rely on their defense and timely hitting.
