The Cleveland Guardians have had their chances in this series, so them finding a way to extend it wouldn't be surprising.

Bibee also has a 4.15 ERA and .243 allowed batting average at home, compared to a 2.76 ERA and .217 allowed batting average on the road. I'd need more bang for my buck to side with the Guardians. Give me the Yankees and the cheap price.
