00:00uh Yankees have already collapsed a little bit right like I mean they're minus 135 Toronto is

00:05right there the question Matt that I would have for you is that is it a two-team race do you

00:10legitimately think that the Red Sox who won 10 in a row beat up on a lot of bad teams by the way I

00:17don't gotta make sure I mention that White Sox and Rockies among those 10 wins that they had

00:21Tampa Bay's always in it I think Orioles are out is it a two-team race or more no I think it's three

00:27I don't think we can count out the Red Sox at this point obviously what they did before the break

00:31that's you know probably as hot as they're gonna be uh the rest of the year and then and they're

00:37gonna sort of start to you know come back to earth a little bit while I think the Yankees will get

00:40better so I would certainly favor the Yankees like the odds are but I don't think you can count the

00:45Red Sox out and you certainly can't count the Blue Jays out right now having a little bit of a lead

00:49and playing good ball themselves before the break I mean three really talented teams we've already

00:53seen the Red Sox you know make a big move this year that it kind of counterintuitively they got

00:58better afterwards is that going to continue the rest of the way I don't know but they got all the

01:03good young bats and it just feels like one of those seasons where they had all those tough close losses

01:08early they figured some things out now they're playing well they're playing with confidence so I

01:12don't think they're going away the rest of the year and like you said the Rays are going to hang

01:16around too we've talked before about how the heavy road schedule might you know cause them to slow

01:22down a bit in the second half of the year but I actually thought that was going to happen a little

01:25sooner and it it hasn't completely happened yet so I think they're another one of those teams that

01:30will just stick around and and make things a little bit interesting too but I would certainly

01:35look at those other three teams as as all being in the mix

01:37to another one of those teams that I thought that was going to be pretty high because I have a great

01:50balance for them that I have to stay a little bit slow and that I don't really want to stay in the mix of the
