00:00 Things are certainly heating up.
00:01 The Orioles are trying to keep pace with them.
00:03 And for the time being, they are,
00:04 although they've played a lot less games.
00:07 Right now, the Yankees are the favorites
00:08 to win the division, followed by Baltimore.
00:09 And there is Tampa Bay climbing a little bit here.
00:12 I don't want to discount them, Matt, at all,
00:14 'cause I still think they're very much in this.
00:17 I don't feel that about Boston.
00:19 And my gosh, what a disappointing season
00:21 for the Toronto Blue Jays, right?
00:22 Like, I think they're gonna probably have to take a look
00:24 in the mirror next month.
00:26 - Yeah, I think so.
00:27 It almost feels like that window
00:29 to some degree is closing for them.
00:31 And certainly this year is just gonna feel
00:34 like a lost year in a lot of ways.
00:36 The Red Sox feel like they're overachieving,
00:37 so they're probably kinda happy where they are.
00:40 But you're right, the Rays are lurking.
00:42 Anytime the Rays are lurking,
00:43 you never know what's gonna happen.
00:44 You never know what they're gonna piece together
00:46 and slap together.
00:47 But the Yankees and Orioles are fantastic teams.
00:50 And I actually think when you look at those two teams,
00:52 I like the Orioles a little bit better personally.
00:55 But of course, the Yankees haven't had Garrett Cole yet.
00:58 And if he can come back and he can be healthy,
01:01 what a boost that's gonna be.
01:02 So I think that's gonna be a great race
01:04 throughout the summer.
01:05 But both of those teams are really good.
01:06 And I think they can both make a lot of noise
