00:00A couple of doubleheaders making our Wednesday full slate of Major League Baseball even that

00:08much fuller.

00:09We start in the Bronx between the Yankees and the Angels.

00:12A two-game doubleheader for the Pinstripes and the Halos.

00:16The Yankees take game one, five to two.

00:18They were greater than a three-dollar favorite with Luis Gil on the bump.

00:22Don't call him you-know-what.

00:24Pretty good.

00:25Yesterday, five innings of shutout work, only allowing two hits.

00:28Good walk, five batters, but also striking out six.

00:32So the Yankees win game one, five to two.

00:34But as Mark Zinno told you yesterday, and we made the point, Will Warren got the start

00:38for the Yanks in game two.

00:40They were a minus-245 home money line favorite.

00:44Hard to sweep a doubleheader, regardless of the opposing pitcher, and the Halos win game

00:49two, eight to two, with a ton of plus money to boot.

00:53Yeah, we talked about this yesterday.

00:54Now, granted, there were two doubleheaders, and they're both, you know, one was a sweep,

00:58which was really nice for the Arizona Diamondbacks, but the focal point that we talked about for

01:01the Yankees was doubleheaders really hurt you when you're going against a team that

01:04you should pummel on a day-to-day basis.

01:06You saw game number one, you had a legitimate starting pitcher in the major leagues on the

01:10Malfrey and Luis Gil.

01:11You won that easily.

01:12That's what you're supposed to do against the Angels.

01:14But game number two, you throw that spot starter in there, and everything is up for grabs.

01:18And as Ben pointed out, the Yankees were still a heavy favorite and should have swept that

01:21series yesterday alone.

01:23But the fact of the matter is, we know the law of averages typically says, you know,

01:27one team wins one game, the other wins the other.

01:29You might have to use a closer here.

01:30You don't have another starter in that second game.

01:32Because let's just say if you had these games, not back-to-back in a doubleheader and on

01:35a day-to-day basis, the Yankees probably would have won both of those games going away because

01:39you wouldn't have had that spot starter that you had to burn in that instance.

01:42You had another major league pitcher on that.

01:44Even if it was like a Nestor Cortez, you'd probably walk away with the victory.

01:47That was a tough scene because the Yankees, quite frankly, got that first game win.

01:51Like, OK, let's just see what happens in game number two.

01:53But it wasn't as if it was a coin flip and like, hey, minus 110, plus 110, this game's

01:57going to be really good.

01:58You should have blown them out twice.

01:59But again, the law of averages on a day where you play a doubleheader, you're probably going

02:03to split.

02:04And that hurt the Yankees yesterday.
