00:00here. Like I did some work today on like World Series winner. I've identified four teams that I
00:04like. Unfortunately, none of them are my favorite team, the New York Yankees, and maybe the Yankees
00:09like get to the World Series. I don't think they're winning against the Phillies if they get
00:12there on what would be a rematch of 2009. I identified the Phillies and the Padres in the
00:17National League and the Royals and the Astros in the American League, which honestly like makes me
00:23want to like walk into traffic if the Astros win the World Series. I, I despise them. Uh, Femi,
00:29where are you at here? And then we'll get Jake's thoughts either here or at the top of the next
00:32segment on World Series winner, World Series matchups now. Yeah. So I actually think that
00:38the American League is going to be interesting based on this wild card. Like the Royals not
00:42winning the central, I think actually bodes well for them being in that five spot there.
00:46Cause I'm not scared of the Baltimore Orioles. So I think the Royals can win that series in the
00:49wild card round and then they're going to be able to face the Yankees. And I'm sorry, Nick,
00:53I know you're a Yankee fan, but that line of Reagan's and Lugo and Waka, like they can go
00:58into the Bronx and shut down that Yankee lineup. I think the road, by the way, to your point,
01:03to your point, Femi, have we ever seen this high powered Yankee lineup get shut down in the
01:06post-season before? I know Soto's there just saying, yeah, it happens every October, except
01:11for last October when they weren't there. But I think that the Royals, like they, to me give off
01:15diamond backs, vibes of last season, like young lineup superstar, Bobby Witt, Jr. Really good
01:21pitching staff. I think they can make the Cinderella run and win the American League
01:25pennant. I bet them to win the American League pennant 20 to one earlier this summer. I think
01:29they represent the AL and then the NL. It's hard to go against the Phillies. Like that's a really
01:32good lineup that they have. The pitching staff is outstanding. Philadelphia should win the world
01:37series of the year. If they don't win it, it's a catastrophic failure for the Philadelphia
01:41Phillies organization. I think Phillies over Royals world series.
