00:00The Guardians turn to Tanner Bybee. The Yankees will send out the ace in Garrett Cole. Total
00:10is 7, Joe, and the Yanks are a minus 172 home money line favorite. What plays out in this
00:17second game of the ALCS? Will the Pinstripes build a 2-0 series advantage, winning both
00:23in the Bronx? Will Cleveland head home tied in a game of peace?
00:28Well, it's, you know, the total is certainly something I think you need to look at here
00:32because you mentioned it, two aces, right? Bybee was much better on the road than he
00:39was at home this year, ironically enough. His road appearance is much, much better than
00:45he was at progressive, which is kind of crazy when you think about it. I would look to cut
00:51this game in half then because unless I'm willing to flat out just back the Guardians
00:56to win this, which I don't want to do going up against Garrett Cole here, it's got to
01:02be two halves because if the Guardians are tied or have the lead heading into the sixth
01:08inning, you know that bullpen comes into play and that bullpen is going to shut the Yankees
01:14down for extensive periods of time in this series. So I would look to the first five
01:20under, it's probably three and a half, but I would not be shocked if this was a 1-0,
01:251-1 game heading into the sixth inning. And then it's a battle of the bullpens, one of
01:30which I would give the Guardians the edge. So I'll back both starting pitching and say
01:35don't expect a lot of runs into the sixth inning in this game. I think the bullpens
01:40will decide it.
