As I said, Andrew Miller just did the same thing that Belances did.   Cleveland really only had 3 good relievers (not 4), but the first leverage situation of the game they brought in Miller so they would get the most outs out of him... rather than only having him for 3 outs.

The top 4 of the 2015 Kansas City Royals bullpen, was probably a tad better bullpen (in that particular season) then the 2018 Yankees.  Just lacked the reputational value,

Good news for the Yankees is:
- The Royals won the World Series based on that pen.
- The Yanks have a much better lineup, which more than makes up for this slight difference if any in the pen.
- 3 of the last 4 teams in the AL to make the World Series were led by their bullpen (2014+2015 KC, 2016 Cleveland).  So the Yanks are definetely following the trends.  The Astros pen was a mess and found a way to make it work.. the Red Sox would have to be the same.    That is why I have the Yanks favoured in this series.
