00:00credit to the yankees last season they sort of defied some odds and you know got all the way to

00:04the world series with this all or nothing offense but you know unfortunately that reared its head

00:09again and when the yankees are in that sort of slump justin as you know that slump can linger i

00:13saw it here in south florida against the marlins when those bats are are cold i mean they could go

00:19weeks without getting hot again and they just have to hope that that's not going to be the case

00:23tonight in the bronx their favorite again minus 172 here on the money line totals a little bit

00:28higher than those other games we mentioned at seven and a half but if they're not going to be

00:34able to produce runs then the red sox are going to win this series i don't know if it'll be tonight

00:40or if it'll be tomorrow but not just judge i mean they gotta put i mean how do the yankees not score

00:45runs in the postseason basically is what i'm asking you like is this another postseason unlike the last

00:51year's postseason where they just go cold again well you know i think the biggest problem and

00:56a reason i was on the red sox last night and i'm a lifelong yankees fan i'll tell you why i had a

01:00hunch it was going to be an issue for the yankees yesterday is because john carlos stanton is not

01:05performing right now he's hitting i think he hit 224 in september after hitting something like 339 in

01:11august his rolling ex woba is like down close to 351 after being close to 430 in the past month so yeah he

01:20can get the barrel on the ball and yes he might be dangerous still to get that home run but every other at

01:25that is coming up kind of moot and that's going to be a bit of an issue of course the righty on the

01:29mound bellow today you're going to see jazz you're going to see rice back in the lineup i think that'll

01:33help a lot i expect the yankees bats to do some damage i think if they get this thing to four or

01:38five runs on their side they should have no problem they do have the pitching advantage today you know

01:43against bellow with rodon but of course rodon can be hot or cold too it's going to be interesting to

01:48see how he does i think you know the stuff that he has is very good when it is on he's going to

01:54feature that four seamer mix it up with that slider down low and away uh and then you know hopefully

02:00the change can dot some of the corners as well but we'll see how he's really able to do it uh the hard

02:06hit percentage for him is still just as a good as what we see with bellow but uh he he does limit

02:12opponents to a better slugging percentage and batting average so we'll see i think the yankees

02:16should force game three
