00:00Two tickets have been punched in the LCS around MLB, and both teams play in New York.

00:10The Mets the first, from Queens the Yankees last night on the road in KC, but of course

00:16hailing from the Bronx.

00:17As I said poorly before the break, plus 260 is the shortest price in the name the finalist

00:23category to pick the two teams facing off in a World Series potential matchup.

00:28It's a subway series between the Mets and the Yankees, but a lot still outstanding as

00:33we do have two spots still left in their respective LCSs.

00:39That is the case in the American League as the Tigers had the opportunity and a late

00:44lead yesterday at home somehow someway once again in the Motor City.

00:49But David Frye, the all-star for Cleveland who did not start yesterday for the Guardians

00:55comes up big in the final three innings in a pinch hit spot in the seventh.

01:01A two-run home run to put Cleveland in front four to three.

01:05A sack bunt in the top of the ninth to add insurance, and it's a good thing they had

01:11the additional run because Emmanuel Class A has come back down to earth amongst us mere

01:16mortals at least against the Tigers.

01:19They score a run in the bottom of the ninth, but that's it.

01:23Cleveland wins five to four to force a decisive game number five tomorrow in the land.

01:29The Guardians and Tanner Bybee were a slight road favorite yesterday in Detroit to see

01:34this series go the distance, and that's what we will have.

01:38Yeah, and listen, that should not surprise anybody, this Guardians team, but it feels

01:44like they have done this.

01:46They have been that resilient all year long.

01:50This is unsung heroes, guys coming up in big spots, getting it done.

01:54No real big superstar on the Guardians, right?

01:58They don't have a judge, they don't have a Bobby Witt Jr., they don't have a school.

02:04Their best guy was out in April in Bieber.

02:08That was the most well-known guy they had on the roster, and then you get guys like

02:12Frye coming up here and absolutely delivering.

02:15They've been doing that all year.

02:17The problem is they've also taken on a team that believes they can win, Ben, and that's

02:22what Detroit does.

02:24They too have had a stretch here now where if you don't step on their throats, they will

02:29come back and beat you, and they've done it time and time again just to get into the postseason.

02:34So this is going to be a battle, and the big question is, can the Guardians get over their

02:39ace?

02:40Can they beat the Cy Young, in all likelihood, Cy Young winner in school bowl?

02:45Does pitching beat hitting?

02:47That's the old adage, and that is going to come to fruition tomorrow for sure.
