The New York Yankees are just about set to host the Kansas City Royals for Game 1 of the American League Division Series.
After the Royals swept the Baltimore Orioles in a best-of-three wild-card series earlier this week, they travel to The Bronx to kick off a best-of-five series against the Yankees.
On the mound for the Yankees will be ace Gerrit Cole while the Royals will counter with right-hander Michael Wacha, who has had immense success against the Yankees throughout his career.
The Game 1 lineup for the Yankees includes a slight tweak with Oswaldo Cabrera getting the start at first base in place of the injured Anthony Rizzo. Meanwhile, Alex Verdugo gets the start in left field over Jasson Dominguez.
