The Cleveland Indians will welcome in the Boston Red Sox as the Tribe look to use the home field advantage that they got on the final day of the regular season.
Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox were actually on the outside looking in at times in the month of September, but a 10 game winning streak saw them take off in the AL East.
The Red Sox held the top spot in the American League, but back to back losses to Toronto in the final 2 games of the season saw the Red Sox fall behind Cleveland, losing home field.
Boston limps into the postseason, losing 5 of 6.

With the Indians decision to pitch Corey Kluber in Game 2, the Red Sox will send send out Rick Porcello to allow David Price to matchup with him.
Porcello sits with a 22-4 record and has a real shot at the American League Cy Young.
Finishing the season 8-1 over his last 11, Porcello will look to use that and his career success against Indians to his advantage.
Over a 22 start span, Porcello has gone 10-4 with a 3.35 ERA against Cleveland.
Cleveland Indians
The Indians are being given no chance heading into their ALDS series with the Red Sox.
Cleveland has battled adversity all season long through the amount of injuries they’ve been hit with, but nothing has been able to slow them down.
With the entire media picking the Red Sox and even their own reporter bashing the team back in the month of September, Cleveland will enter the playoffs with a giant chip on their shoulder and the mentality of proving everyone wrong.

The Tribe swept away the Royals in the final weekend of the season to help secure home field, which is a huge deal considering this team has gone 53-28 at home.
They’ll send out Trevor Bauer here, who has been a real hit or miss kind of pitcher. However, Bauer’s fire has never been in question and if he can find it early, the RH is unhittable at times.
Bauer held Kansas City to just 3 runs in 6.0 innings of work in his final start, as command is his biggest key. Pitching inside to the Red Sox hitters is a must for him to have success.
