The Post’s baseball writers make their picks for the Yankees vs. Guardians ALCS:
Jon Heyman
Give the Guardians credit for being the only non-$300 million team still alive. But the AL Central is a free ride to the World Series for Yanks.

The Guardians’ dominant bullpen will give the Yankees some trouble. But over the course of a long series, starting pitching matters, and the Yankees have the edge there — offensively, too.

All that’s missing for the Yankees from this easy path to their first World Series since 2009 is a matchup against the Twins.

The Guardians’ lineup annoys. The Yankees’ lineup overwhelms.

The key is the Yankees scoring against Cleveland’s starters and avoiding needing to do so against the majors’ best pen.

The Guardians are feisty enough that they can hang with the Yankees and even steal a couple. But they simply don’t hit enough to inspire any belief they can win four games in a seven-game series. Fifteen Series-free years is enough for the Yankees.
