ALDS Game 5: Yankees Turn to Sabathia Against Kluber

ALDS Game 2 Rematch

The New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians will meet in Game 5 of their ALDS Series on Wednesday when they meet at Progressive Field. The series is tied 2-games a piece. The home team has won every game in the series so far. Fox Sports 1 has the telecast. First pitch is scheduled for 8:08 pm EST.

Oddsmakers opened the Indians as -180-moneyline favorites versus the Yankees, while the game's total opened at 7.5. The line on the Indians has now went up to -200-moneyline favorite. The total has held steady at 7.5.

The pitching matchup will be a Game 2 rematch of former Cy Young Award winners: the Yankees' CC Sabathia vs. the Indians' Corey Kluber.

In Game 2, Sabathia was effective. Kluber had his worst start of the year. Sabathia pitched 5 1/3 innings.  He allowed just three hits and two earned runs. Kluber, the AL Cy Young Award favorite, pitched 2 2/3 innings, giving up seven hits and six earned runs.

The Indians eventually won Game 2. It was a marathon 9-8 win in 13 innings. Cleveland will need Kluber to pitch like an ace Wednesday.

Sabathia has a 14-5 record and a 3.68 ERA this season. Corey Kluber had a 2.49 ERA to go along with a 18-4 record this season.

The winner meets the Houston Astros in the ALCS.

ALDS has Panned out Like Managers Hoped if 5-Game Series

Indians manager Terry Francona specifically set up his ALDS rotation to have Kluber pitch in a potential Game 5 He wanted the Ace pitching on his normal four days' rest. That was why Kluber started Game 2 instead of Game 1.

The Yankees come into the game having the momentum. They havewon the last two games.

The Indians hope to have designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion back in the lineup tonight. The Slugger had 38 home runs and 107 RBIs in the regular season. He missed the past two games with a sprained ankle.

NLDS Game 4: Strasburg on Hill Against Cubs after Rainout

Strasburg Mystery Illness is Gone; Now Pitching NLDS Game 4

The Washington Nationals and the Chicago Cubs play Game 4 of their NLDS Series on Tuesday when they battle at Wrigley Field. The game is set to start at 5:30. TBS will have the game televised nationally. The game was delayed a day because of rainy weather in the Chicago area.

Oddsmakers opened the Cubs as -115-moneyline favorites versus the Nationals, while the game’s total opened at 7.5.

Strasburg held the Cubs without a hit for 5 2/3 innings in Game 1. Chicago pulled out a 3-0 victory. He threw seven innings and allowed two unearned runs. He struck out 10 batters.

Strasburg said he was "under the weather" and blamed a change in weather, air conditioning in the team hotel and mold in Chicago.

Cubs Arrieta Looking to Close out NLDS

The Cubs will go with Jake Arrieta. Right hander Arrieta has a 3.53 ERA to go along with a 14-10 record this season.

Arrieta, who was slowed by a right hamstring injury late in the season, insists he is fine. He recently threw two successful bullpen sessions.

Arrieta dropped his only decision against the Nationals this year and is 1-2 with a 5.48 ERA in nine career starts against Washington.

Arrieta will make his first start of the postseason. He used a few extra days to strengthen his hamstring. Arrieta hasn’t pitched since Sept. 26. He missed 2 1/2 weeks after straining the hamstring during a start on Sept. 4.

With Strasburg being announced as the starter, Maddon changed his lineup card as well. He took out outfielder Kyle Schwarber and went with outfielder Jason Heyward.

NLDS Game 4: Cubs Looks to Close out Nationals

Cubs Lead Series 2-1, Send Arrieta to Mound on Tuesday

The Washington Nationals and the Chicago Cubs play Game 4 of their NLDS Seiries on Tuesday when they battle at Wrigley Field. The game is set to start at 5:30. TBS will have the game televised nationally.

Oddsmakers opened the Cubs as -145-moneyline favorites versus the Nationals, while the game's total opened at 7.5. The total is still at 7.5, but the Cubs have been bet up to a -165-moneyline favorite.

The Cubs will go with Jake Arrieta. Right hander Arrieta has a 3.53 ERA to go along with a 14-10 record this season.

Arrieta, who was slowed by a right hamstring injury late in the season, insists he is fine. He recently threw two successful bullpen sessions.

Arrieta dropped his only decision against the Nationals this year and is 1-2 with a 5.48 ERA in nine career starts against Washington.

Arrieta will make his first start of the postseason. He used a few extra days to strengthen his hamstring. Arrieta hasn't pitched since Sept. 26. He missed 2 1/2 weeks after straining the hamstring during a start on Sept. 4.

Nationals Pin Hopes on Roark Against Cubs

Roark is 4-2 in seven career starts against the Cubs. He is 1-0 with a 2.84 ERA against Chicago this season.

NLDS Game 3 Preview: Dodgers Look to Close out DBacks

DBacks Turn to Greinke to Stave off Elimination from Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks will battle in Game 3 of their NLDS Series on Monday at Chase Field.First pitch is scheduled for 10:08. TBS will televise the game nationally.

Oddsmakers opened the Dodgers as -120-moneyline favorites versus the Diamondbacks, while the game's total opened at 9. The line now has the Diamondbacks as -113-moneyline favorites. The total is holding at 9.

Starting this game for the Diamondbacks will be Zack Greinke. The right hander has a 3.32 ERA to go along with a 17-7 record this season.

The Diamondbacks' starting pitching has not given them much of a chance so far. That is something Greinke has to do to keep Arizona alive in its first playoff appearance since 2011. Arizona has not won a playoff series since the 2007 NLDS against the Chicago Cubs.

Greinke's short outing in the NL wild-card game against Colorado has had a ripple effect in this series. Greinke could not get out of the fourth inning so fellow start Robbie Ray was forced into action in long relief.

Greinke was 13-1 at home in the regular season. He has given up 15 hits and 12 runs in his 7 2/3 innings in his last two starts at Chase Field. Greinke could not hold a 6-0 lead in the wild-card game. He gave up five hits and four runs in the fourth inning before being removed.

Dodgers Look to Advance to NLCS

Right hander Yu Darvish will take the mound for the Dodgers to start this game. Darvish is 10-12 this season with a 3.81 ERA.

Darvish joined the Dodgers near the trade deadline. He was 4-3 with a 3.44 ERA in nine starts with them. He struck out 10 in five innings of a 5-2 victory over Arizona at Chase Field on Aug. 10.

He lost both career postseason starts while with the Texas Rangers. Darvish gave up five runs on four homers in five innings of a 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays in the second game of the ALDS last year.

The Dodgers' 6-8 hitters, Logan Forsythe, Austin Barnes and Yasiel Puig were 8-for-12 with five RBIs in Game 2. Puig has a team-high five hits, including a triple in Game 1.

Third baseman Justin Turner had three hits, including a homer. He matched a franchise playoff record five RBIs in a 9-5 Game 1 victory. That helped the Dodgers show the power that led them to a franchise home run record this season.

The Dodgers led the NL in team ERA, and Arizona was third.
