The Cleveland Guardians and New York Yankees face off in the 2022 ALDS. On this crossover edition of Locked on Guardians, Jeff Ellis and Justin Lada are joined by Stacey Gotsulias of Locked on Yankees to discuss the upcoming matchup.

1. We discuss the Yankees and Guardians pitching and which pitchers are the toughest matchup for each side. Why the Yankees are using Gerritt Cole as the Game 1 (and potential Game 4) starter and not left hander Nestor Cortes. 
2. The Yankees have an injured and beleaguered bullpen. Stacey shares which relievers are healthy, which are not healthy, and which relievers they trust against the Guardians heading into the ALDS. We also discuss the overall health of the Yankees lineup and who will be on the active roster for them. 
3. Which hitters for the Guardians are going to need to play a key role in order for Cleveland to win the series and what they need to do to beat Gerritt Cole, and what is is the best case scenario for Cleveland to pull off a series upset.
