00:00No bigger game on the season for the New York Yankees.

00:02Why?

00:02They lose, they go home.

00:03And in their own building, you know, changes are going to be made.

00:07But the Yankees, once again, at home, are heavily favored.

00:10Opening line, minus 148.

00:12Line where it sits now, anywhere between minus 152 and minus 156,

00:16depending on where you're shopping at.

00:17And the total, which opened up at eight, dropped to seven and a half.

00:21It's Bieber on the mound versus Rondon.

00:22The one thing that we do know is that that bats have really come alive here

00:27for Toronto at home.

00:29Now they go on the road to the Bronx.

00:31Weather conditions, as we check, Joe, between Seattle and Detroit, not so great.

00:35Weather conditions in the Bronx, 72 degrees, no precipitation,

00:39and winds blowing out double digits to left field.

00:43How about that?

00:44Yeah, it's going to be interesting, Donny, because, again,

00:48we pointed it out all season long.

00:50Toronto, fantastic at the Rogers Center.

00:53The problem is if you watch Toronto at home and then you watch them on the road,

00:57you'd be like, who is this team?

00:59This doesn't look anything even remotely close to the team that I just watched at the Rogers Center.

01:04And that's been the story all year long.

01:06They are a different team on the road than they are at home.

01:11And I think the Yankees, the best thing that happened to them in that second game blowout was

01:16it didn't end up 13 to one.

01:18The Yankees' bats finally started to swing and come alive.

01:22So if they can build off of that, Rodon has been the stopper for them all year long in this kind of spot here.

01:30Bieber, when is the last time he pitched?

01:32It feels like it's been a hot minute, right?

01:35The 26th against Tampa?

01:38That was the last time he has been on the mound.

01:40For a guy like Bieber, who came off the IL, you know, they're creatures of habit, Donnie.

01:45You know this.

01:46For this guy not to have pitched for this long, it could be advantage Yankees early in this one against Toronto.

01:53And it needs to be.
