Guardians vs. Yankees ALDS Game 2 Rescheduled Due to Inclement Weather

Game 2 of the American League Division Series has been postponed because of the rain in the Bronx.

It was feared that the weather would make it hard to play Game 2.

The New York Metro Weather said on Thursday that the forecast had slightly improved, which could allow for the game to be played.

Rather than risk starting the game and leaving open the possibility of a long rain delay, MLB decided to give both clubs the best chance to play a full game on Friday.

The Bronx is expected to have mostly sunny skies in the afternoon with a high of 68 degrees.

If the series is extended, the postponement could play a big part. Friday was going to be the last day of the series, with both teams heading to Cleveland.

If the series goes five games, the two teams will play for four days in a row.

It's likely that this will have more of an impact on Cleveland, as they might have been able to bring back a player on three days' rest. He will probably be limited to one start in the series.

The Yankees will be able to use Cole on regular rest for the possibility of a fourth game on Sunday. He gave up one run on four hits with eight strikeouts in New York's win in the first game of the series.

The starting lineup for Game 2 is as follows:
