00:00Obviously, I'm a New York guy. I don't like the Boston Red Sox, but I'm going to be completely

00:04objective about this. All right. On the American League side, here's my predictions. Okay. Okay.

00:11The New York Yankees will advance to the ALCS. Okay. Okay. In the ALCS, the New York Yankees will

00:20face the aforementioned Cleveland Guardians. Wow. That would be an upset. Be a big upset

00:26because neither one of them are the one seed, obviously. They're both playing today. Neither

00:31one of them are the two seed. Cleveland's one of the hottest teams in baseball to come back

00:35from 15 and a half games down midsummer to get into the postseason. I don't sleep on

00:40hot teams. I try to only do that with hot girls. That's my wife. What's up, Kim? Love

00:45you. All right. So I think you have a Yankee Guardian ALCS and the New York Yankees, unlike

00:52the year of the Midges, the New York Yankees prevail. They beat Cleveland. They don't need

00:58Jabba Chamberlain to do it. And the New York Yankees will be in the World Series for the

01:02second consecutive year. And they have the better manager anyway, Aaron Boone. On the

01:07National League side. Yeah. I know everyone wants to go chalk. Oh, how do you not pick

01:11the Dodgers? How do you not pick Milwaukee? I don't pick either one of them teams. It pains

01:16me to say this, but the Philadelphia Phillies will be in the NLCS. They're the two seed.

01:22They are. All right. They get a little buy action early on and they will play in the NLCS,

01:28the San Diego Padres. Another upset. I picked the Padres back in March on FS1. You can go

01:34check the tapes on it. And I'm not going to turn my back on them now. That's an upset

01:38not to have the Dodgers in the NLCS. Obviously, the Dodgers have the Cincinnati Reds in the first

01:44round. I know a lot of people are high on the Cubbies and PCA. Cubs are a nice little

01:48story, but not good enough to get there. Phillies, Padres, NLCS, and your Philadelphia

01:56Phillies will make it back to the World Series. That's right. It is a Yankees-Phillies World

02:01Series, much like it was in 2009, the last time the Yankees won a World Series. And much

02:08like back then, we get the same results. The New York Yankees are World Series champions

02:17and they will dispatch the Philadelphia Phillies in a six-game series and there'll be a parade

02:24at the Canyon of Heroes. You can book it now. The New York Yankees, once again, on the top

02:31of the heap where they belong, as the best team in baseball and World Series champions.

02:38And Aaron Judge can then celebrate, be celebrated as an all-time great Yankee.

02:43Look at this graphic. Aaron Boone, an all-time great manager for the Yankees. And look at the

02:49celebration. They got you in there with your best. Look at Craigie, right there in the middle

02:52of the whole thing. Right there with Judge and your boy Boone. Hang it out, popping champagne.

02:57Remember, the only thing missing from Aaron Judge's storied career, because it's already a first

03:01bout Hall of Famer as a multiple-time MVP in all the home runs, is the trophy. He's got

03:07every other award and accolade a player could have, but he will never be regarded as one of

03:14the great Yankees of all time until he's got a trophy.
