All the teams are good at this point, might as well be a team with a legendary name. (not the Guardians with a stupid name)
I'm not afraid of the Yankees, but I do have a healthy respect just because of Judge, Stanton, Cole and Cortez. Those 4 players alone can win 2 games. Verlander HAS TO be locked in tomorrow. We have to come out and dominate game 1. Altuve HAS TO get going. His track record again the Yankees speaks for itself, so I have high optimism he'll turn it around. I really believe this series will come down to the heavyweights. Pound for pound at peak performance on both sides I think we take it in 6. But there's no rhyme or reason in the postseason. Just win baby.
The TBS crew was circle jerking each other talking about the 2017 Astros vs. the Yankees and cheating. The annoying part of playing the Yankees in the ALCS will be hearing them talk about it like it's brand new news again.
So this is what we know G1 G2 G3 Cole G4 Cortez G5 G6 G7 Cole My best guess is Severino and Taillon for the other 4 starts. Cole could obviously pitch game 6 and would if they are down 3-2. Same for Cortez game 7. Advantage Astros.
Crazy how I lived in Manhattan the last two years when they didn't play and just moved away before they meet up. Not sure I want to hear F--- Altuve in my ear the entire game though (I'm sure it's worse than the regular season when I hit up Yankee Stadium)
I do not like the 2-3-2 alcs schedule format. Idk why but I'm a little concern about astros bullpen VS the Yankees.
