What It Means:

This was the expected move, as Kluber will have had a full week off since his last start, when he allowed two runs in a loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Kluber owns a 0.98 ERA in his three starts this postseason (18 1/3 innings). Our models have Cleveland as underdogs for the World Series, giving them only a 36.6 percent chance of upsetting the Cubs.
