Series pitching matchup Cleveland right-hander Gavin Williams takes the mound with a 9-3 record and 3.20 ERA. He has won his last four starts and leads the league in victories while pitching at least five innings in each of his 13 outings. New York counters with right-hander Will Warren, who is 7-1 with a 3.22 ERA.

Injury situation New York is missing its primary designated hitter and catcher along with its leading power hitter. The manager stated the club still possesses enough talent to remain competitive during the absences. Paul Goldschmidt has batted .319 with two home runs and 10 RBIs in his last 11 games and is expected to help offset the missing production.
