Here’s what you need to know about each team in the ALDS:

ALDS storylines

Guardian: The Guardians didn’t just have a good bullpen this season. They had a historically great bullpen. It’s the best bullpen ever at 13.7 WAR – the next best bullpen was 9.1 WAR this year – and it’s led by all-world closer Emmanuel Clase, who posted a 0 ERA in 74 1/3 innings .61 had. For Cleveland, it’s about getting just enough offense and just enough starting pitching and then handing things over to a strong and diverse supporting staff. You have lefties, righties, hard throwers, changeup specialists and more. Steven Kwan, José Ramírez and Josh Naylor are the key players in the offense. The rest of the lineup isn’t overly impressive.

Tiger: There’s a “How do they do it?” vibe for this Tigers team, but they Are They’re never out of the game, as the Astros learned in Game 2 of the Wild Card Series. Manager AJ Hinch uses his entire bench to mix and match skillfully, and the same goes for the pitching staff behind Skubal. Skubal will be able to start Games 2 and 5 of the ALDS on normal rest. If the Guardians took care of business in four games or less, they would only see the league’s best pitcher once in the series. However, the Tigers have shown that they are more than impressive on the days Skubal doesn’t pitch. Hinch called his team a “chaos” before the Wild Card Series, and that’s exactly what the Tigers are. You never know exactly what they’re going to throw at you.
