Baurer starting game 1 scares the hell out of me. We have no idea who starts game 4. Baurer? Clevinger? Salazar? A lot of risks Tito is taking:lupe: But if we win game 1 and come back with Kluber,I'll feel great:wow:

Kluber is primarily a Sinker/Slider pitcher. And batters have hit .297 against Kluber's sinker and just .100 against his slider this season.
So the key for the Yankees will be for them to attack and elevate that sinker.

For what it's worth, here's how Yankees have done vs the slider this season:

Didi Gregorious: .315
Aaron Judge: .159
Gary Sanchez: .302
Brett Gardner: .157
Starlin Castro: .231
Jacoby Ellsbury: .205
Aaron Hicks: .114

So it's no secret what Kluber and the Indians will try to do.
If you noticed tonight, Ervin Santana tried to get his slider going but couldn't locate it and didn't have nearly the type of movement that Kluber's has.
