00:00But Baltimore is one game back of the Yankees going into tonight and they are plus a buck
00:0915.
00:10Yankees are minus 145.
00:12The Red Sox, I guess you could say, Joe, are still in the mix, only eight and a half back.
00:18That's a heavy number if you wanted to go there.
00:20I got to tell you, Joe, I still, and I haven't gotten to talk to you about this, so I will,
00:24I still think Baltimore is going to win the division.
00:27I don't want to be the Yankee man, I just, maybe it's me being, I've been very hard on
00:32the Yankees and pessimistic about them for two, three years now.
00:36And I just am not a believer in anything that they're selling outside of Judge and Soto.
00:41But I still think that Baltimore, by the time we get to October 1st, is going to beat them
00:46out for the ALEs.
00:47Well, I'll tell you, the key to this, just this series, right, Washington Nationals,
00:52you know what we haven't seen in the last three games?
00:55A judge home run.
00:57You know who hasn't gotten a hit in these last three games?
00:59Juan Soto.
01:00So if you control those two guys for extended stretches, yes, the Yankees are beatable.
01:08The problem is, if one, all you need is one of those guys to go off and it's usually enough
01:13to carry this team.
01:14But if you can keep both of them at bay, then yes, the Yankees should not be a problem heading
01:19into the postseason.
