00:00Speaking of pitching advantages, this is what you want if you're the Yankees.

00:04Garrett Cole on the bump as a greater than dollar and a half favorite, albeit on the road,

00:10to earn a spot in the American League Championship Series.

00:13Will the Pinstripes punch their ticket with Cole on the mound tonight?

00:18They may, but there's no way I'm laying this kind of juice with the Yankees in any game right now

00:23in the postseason. I think this is going to be a really close game right down to the wire.

00:27I mean, you tell me that this game can't be 2-2 in the seventh inning and Cole comes out of the

00:32game, and then who knows what the bleep happens at that point. So I'll ride the under here at

00:36seven and a half. I think that, again, you'll see a lot of pitching changes, a lot of matchup-based

00:41issues, I think, going on. And look, the Yankees have barely outplayed the Royals in the series,

00:48like, by, like, one run. I think this is going right down to the end. Anybody's ballgame here,

00:54I think, tonight. But, you know, obviously, the pressure is going to be all on the Yankees

00:57the next two games. If they don't win this one tonight and have to go back to Yankee Stadium,

01:01ooh, tough scene.
