00:00In New York tonight in the Bronx on what should be a beautiful evening inside Yankee Stadium,

00:08a rivalry renewed between the Yankees and the Red Sox, eight and a half is the total.

00:14Although rivals DRS, New York was rooting for Boston this week in a midweek set against

00:19the O's.

00:20The Red Sox took two of three against Baltimore.

00:24The Yankees a game and a half lead as they took the rubber match last night in extra

00:28innings against KC in the American League East.

00:31What do you like in the opener between these two familiar foes?

00:35I think we can get some runs and also particularly the Yankees need some runs tonight.

00:39Yes, they won last night.

00:40They'll take that each and every night, but it hasn't been that explosive Yankees offense

00:44that we're used to.

00:45And I think they can get back to that tonight.

00:46If we're looking at the card, it's a very short card.

00:4814 pitchers, Ben, have pitched over the past 60 days with a minimum of 20 innings pitch.

00:54The worst pitcher on the card, that's Cooper Criswell, who's set to take the bump here

00:58tonight for the Boston Red Sox.

00:5940 innings over those past 60 days, 4.05 ERA, 5.15 XFIB.

01:05That should get him in trouble.

01:06Who does he struggle against?

01:07He's actually been very good on the season against left-handed batters.

01:11So yes, Juan Soto might have a good night.

01:13Austin Wells could have a good night here.

01:14They're both left-handed batters.

01:15We're focusing on those right-handed batters.

01:17We talked about the MVP this year.

01:19Of course, Aaron Judge, 70 at bats over the last month, still very good numbers against

01:23right-handed pitching.

01:24Hasn't had those power numbers that we're so accustomed to.

01:27But maybe tonight is a chance where he gets back to it.

01:29An RBI prop, my favorite pick of this game, is probably going to be Aaron Judge to record

01:33that RBI.

01:34We're hunting right-handed batters to go up against Criswell.

01:37But I do think we can get over the 8.5, but I'm focused on the Yankees bouncing back at

01:40the plate, and that starts with Aaron Judge.
