00:00But it's not the reigning World Series champs in the Rangers.
00:05It's not a team that's reached the ALCS seven straight years in the Astros that has the
00:09best record in the American League.
00:11It's not the Yankees.
00:12It's not the Orioles, despite being the two front runners to win the pennant.
00:16It's the Cleveland Guardians, 71 and 49, the best record in the AL.
00:21John Kenzie Noel, three home runs and two games against the Cubbies to win it yesterday
00:27for the Guardians.
00:28Jack, what is Cleveland's ceiling come October baseball?
00:32That's a great question.
00:33Steven Vogt, by the way, you nailed it, manager of the Cleveland Guardians.
00:36You nailed that during the break.
00:37Props to you, Ben.
00:40Their ceiling is fascinating to me because they've had starting pitcher questions all
00:43season long.
00:44Like, I was calling Tristan McKenzie starts in AAA this year.
00:48That shouldn't be happening with a Tristan McKenzie.
00:51Don't forget Shane Bieber looked amazing, like three times through the rotation.
00:55And then his season ends with with surgery, with elbow surgery.
00:59So, you know, as for the Guardians, I understand the price point here at plus 650.
01:05I totally get it because they are not the heavyweight that the Yankees and the Orioles
01:09and the Astros are.
01:10But at the end of the day, they've scrapped their way to the best record in the American
01:14League.
01:15Who's to say that they can't make some magic happen in a five game series in a seven game
01:21series?
01:22And it helps to have that guy Big Christmas in the middle of that lineup.
01:25I love watching John Kensey in the world, man.
