00:00So here we are, Joe, tied at a game apiece. The Yankees entered Game 2 as the home favorites,
00:08even with Rodon facing off against Reagans, and they were greater than a $4 favorite to win the
00:15American League Division Series outright. Still a hefty favorite as we head back to KC tomorrow
00:21evening, the first playoff game inside Kauffman Stadium since a World Series run in 2015. But
00:28how much closer, Joe, do you feel this series is going to be after what you watched last night?
00:34The best two out of three now, Ben. It's a short series. So now all of a sudden,
00:39it's very, very dangerous if you are the Yankees. And we had said going into the series that,
00:45listen, you can't shut down just one of the dynamic duo on the Yankees with Soto and Judge.
00:51You have to shut both of them down in order to give yourself a chance to win. And sure enough,
00:57they've done a pretty good job of that, have the split. Now they go home with a guy that they have
01:02been able to rely upon the entire season, who had one of the best seasons of his career on the mound,
01:09and Seth Lugo, got to take on a guy that was hit or miss on injuries all year long. Now Clark
01:16Schmidt is back. This is, all of a sudden, the Yankees, a little bit head-scratching here.
01:22They're going to have to have one of those two guys explode here over the next couple of games
01:28for them to be able to win this thing.
