A look at what’s happening around the majors today:NO OPENERS NEEDEDCy Young Award winners Justin Verlander and Corey Kluber will start the AL Division Series between the Astros and Indians at Minute Maid Park in a matchup that figures to buck the October trend of bullpen “openers.”Verlander Jackie Bradley Jr Jersey , a 14-year veteran, believes the AL West champion Astros and AL Central champion Indians have the top two rotations in the AL. He thinks the performance of each team’s starters will be paramount to success.“Us and the Indians probably being 1 and 2, however you like to slice it, us and them, them and us,” he said. “Pick your poison. We both have very defined starters who have a great track record and have good stuff. This should be a really fun series.”ON SALEChris Sale waited eight years to make his first postseason start and then another 365 days for a chance to put that memory behind him. The Red Sox left-hander will open Game 1 of the AL Division Series against the New York Yankees, one year after he was bombarded by the championship-bound Houston Astros in his playoff debut.“Last year, obviously, I got my feet wet. Didn’t do too well. But sometimes you learn from the bad more than the good,” Sale said Thursday, a day before the AL East rivals open their best-of-five series.He’ll oppose J.A. Happ at Fenway Park as the Yankees and Red Sox begin their first postseason series since the 2004 AL Championship Series.THE ACE AWAITSClayton Kershaw pitches Game 2 of the Dodgers‘ NLDS against Atlanta showing no signs that he’s miffed about being passed over for Game 1. Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts went with Hyun-Jin Ryu in the series opener at Dodger Stadium instead of the longtime face of the franchise, setting up Kershaw to pitch on five days of rest. Ryu responded with seven sharp innings in a 6-0 win.Roberts says the vibe with Kershaw is “great.” Kershaw can opt out of the final two years of his contract after the World Series.“Obviously, it’s a huge sacrifice for him,” Roberts said. “But to not let it influence his mind or psyche, that doesn’t surprise me.”Atlanta will counter with veteran Anibal Sanchez.QUIET COLORADOThe Rockies’ bats have gone mostly silent this October Roger Clemens Jersey , a slump try to snap against Brewers starter Jhoulys Chacin in Game 2 of their NLDS at Miller Park. Colorado had just four hits in a 3-2, 10-inning loss Thursday, two days after beating the Chicago 2-1 in 13 innings in the wild-card game.At least they’ll get a respite from Milwaukee’s vaunted bullpen. Relief pitcher Brandon Woodruff pitched three hitless innings as the “opener” in Game 1 and the bullpen cruised until Jeremy Jeffress‘ ninth-inning hiccup. Chacin will be pitching on three days of rest against left-hander Tyler Anderson.FUTURE LOOKThree Cuban prospects, including top international free agent Victor Victor Mesa, will try out for major league scouts at Marlins Park. Also participating will be Mesa’s brother, Victor Mesa Jr., and pitcher Sandy Gaston. All teams are invited to attend. The Mesas, both outfielders, were recently declared free agents by Major League Baseball and can be signed by any team.

Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsESPN’s senior baseball writer Keith Law has finished his deep dive into each team’s farm system. Aside from Keston Hiura and Zack Brown — who made the top-100 prospects — Law takes a look at 13 other prospects within the Cream City Nine’s once deep pipeline.The top 15 are as follows:Keston Hiura, 2BZack Brown, RHPTristen Lutz, OFCorey Ray, OFBrice Turang, SSMauricio Dubon Andrew Benintendi Jersey , SS/2BLucas Erceg, 3BMario Feliciano, CAdrian Houser, RHPAaron Ashby, LHPJe’Von Ward, OFTrey Supak, RHPJoe Gray, OFMarcos Diplan, RHPPayton Henry, CLaw projects the number three prospect Tristen Lutz to be a 25+ home run hitter and solid OBP guy. However, he knocks Lutz’s “heavy feet” and says he’ll be trapped in corner outfield. That doesn’t keep Law from predicting that the 20-year-old outfielder can be a solid regular.Law may be as low as anyone on Corey Ray after his 2018 resulted in some spectacular counting numbers. It’s Ray’s tendency to sellout his swing for power, which led to 176 strikeouts last season. In 2019, Law is walking back his projection that Ray would be a star and instead projecting a fourth outfielder.When it comes to 2018 first-round pick Brice Turang, Law is looking at a high-floor shortstop who he says needs to learn to hit. The projection here is a utility floor, but Law says the slow swing could keep him from producing with bat. Meanwhile Luis Tiant Jersey , Dubon is Law’s first choice to take over the second base job in 2019, ahead of Hiura.The belief here seems to be that Dubon will require regular at-bats, whether it’s as a regular or super utility player.Erceg gets some dings on his grade from Law for being “aggressive early in the count.” Law does still have faith in Erceg’s tools and says it will come down to the third base prospect waiting for his pitch. The article also says that Erceg’s defense has declined over the last year.Feliciano is a prospect Law is hoping suffered from nagging injuries. At 20 years old, Feliciano saw a big uptick in his strikeout rate. The thought here is that a thumb and shoulder injury played a big part of his difficulties in 2018 and he could make up with a solid repeat year at Carolina.Next, Law looks at pitchers Adrian Houser and Aaron Ashby. He actually posits that Houser can be the next breakout pitching prospect, following in the shoes of Corbin Burnes and Brandon Woodruff. Ashby meanwhile gets a relievers profile from Law, who says the Brewers could fast track the lefty to the majors by adjusting his role. The only knock here is on his delivery and lack of control.Je’Von Ward is Law’s system-sleeper pick. Still young and with an improved swing, Ward had a great season at the offense-friendly Pioneer League. The outfielder will need to keep improving on his game habits to keep progressing. The talent’s there, but it must transition to baseball.Law gives a few quick notes on the final four. He sees Supak as a back-end starter but worries about his conditioning to maintain his effectiveness. Gray gets a write-off for a poor debut because of an injury. Law says he’ll need to improve his swing for his raw power to come to fruition. Diplan is an arm that Law argues should be in the bullpen, where his fastball/change up combo could find more success. Finally, Payton Henry gets a backup catcher projection.
