The game is on ESPN. Full series schedule below.
It's time for the Yankees vs Indians live stream, which sees a battle of aces taking the mound. And game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series, the first MLB Playoffs live stream, is a seriously unusual one: the pandemic has forced all of this best-of-3 series to be played in Cleveland.
That's right: The Yankees will be the "home team" at Progressive Field for game 2. Reminds us of how all the NBA teams played in the Florida "bubble." Cy Young voters will likely have their notepads out, as Cleveland pitcher Shane Bieber has had a monster season with an MLB-leading 1.63 ERA among starters. He also leads the league with 122 strikeouts. The Yankees have their own ace, Gerrit Cole, throwing in game 1.

It's been an up-and-down season for the Yankees, who started by winning 16 of 22 games, but then lost 15 of the following 20 during the season's MLB live streams.
They've won just two games out of the last eight. But New York is favored in this wild card series thanks to their offensive firepower. Aaron Judge, DJ LeMahieu, Giancarlo Stanton, Gleyber Torres and Luke Voit are part of a formidable batting lineup.
Here is everything you need to watch the Yankees vs Indians live stream of game 1.
