Transcript

00:003.06 p.m. Eastern time to start today in our first of 15 games on this Tuesday for Toronto hosting the New York Yankees.

00:10Max Fried gets the start for the Pinstripes, who are a road favorite tonight or this afternoon in Toronto.

00:17No love for Canada Day that celebrates the union of the Canadian provinces back in 1867.

00:26And it's sovereignty as a true nation under the British Empire, the Dominion of Canada, as it was known back in 1867.

00:36Will those darn Yankees play spoiler to the Blue Jays on Canada Day?

00:42Yeah, look, I mean, the Canada can do two things right this week.

00:44They can celebrate today, Ben, and on the 4th of July if they play their cards right.

00:48That's my drift here at this point.

00:49So let's get to the handicap here on the Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays winning all over the place.

00:55And by the way, you do have an afternoon game.

00:58You can enjoy that.

00:58You know, you don't enjoy Max Fried's on the mound.

01:00The man has been absolutely filthy outstanding since signing as a free agent from the Atlanta Braves here.

01:05Take a look at his last 45 days.

01:07An ERA of 2.81.

01:09An XFIP number of 63.

01:10An X, excuse me, an XFIP minus of 63.

01:12And the XFIP, 2.62 here.

01:15You look at Galsman on the mound.

01:16He's been okay, Ben.

01:17You take a look at the ERA.

01:184.44.

01:19Don't love that all that much over the past 45 days.

01:22A 93 XFIP minus, which isn't bad.

01:23And a 380 XFIP number.

01:25The Yankees lineup here.

01:27Ben Rice, Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, Jazz Chisholm, Anthony Volpe over the past month.

01:31Very good ISO power numbers.

01:33It's hard.

01:34Like, that's a heavy number for a road team in the Yankees that aren't playing that great of baseball as of late.

01:38Which means the offense needs to start waking up just a little bit more.

01:41But for my money in this game, I'm not betting against Max Fried.

01:45He has been tremendous.

01:46I give that lean to the New York Yankees today.

01:48In a nice weather.

01:49Should be open today.

01:5082 degrees with a light wind blowing out the right field.

01:52That should help those Yankee bats as well.

01:53Give me the Yanks today to take care of business against the Jays.
