00:00Tomorrow, it will be Terrick Scouble going for the Tigers.

00:04He, of course, is their ace.

00:06Another good thing for the Yankees is if the Tigers win,

00:08they have to burn Scouble here tomorrow in game number five.

00:11A.J. Hinch, Tigers will be ready to go tomorrow afternoon now.

00:15Oh, we'll be ready.

00:16Yeah, there's no, there's going to be no,

00:19nothing better than, these elimination games are incredible.

00:21You know, everything that we've been playing for up to this point

00:26is now going to, is going to be on Saturday.

00:29So, you know, our guys will be able to reset and we'll pack tonight.

00:33We'll get on a plane tomorrow.

00:35We'll go have a short workout and, you know,

00:38get the opportunity to do it on their turf.

00:41And I expect them to show up ready to play too.

00:43Why wouldn't these two teams come with everything they got on Saturday?

00:47Yeah, and then, you know, the edge is Terrick Scouble.

00:52He is the best pitcher in the game, bar none.

00:57I think he is so magnificent, it's not even funny.

01:00Now, a fourth, fifth, and sixth time through a batting order,

01:04he's already gone through them three times in the first start.

01:08He's going to go through them at least twice, at the very least twice,

01:12I think on Saturday.

01:14If he goes through a third time, I start to seriously worry.

01:17I mean, these are major league hitters.

01:21This is like they, you know, eventually figure it out.

01:25Eventually they see what they want to see and they get the pitch.

01:28I mean, that's what Stan did to the Royals.

01:30He got what he wanted and he hit it out.

01:32And he's looking for it.

01:34He's, you heard him, I'm laser focused on getting my pitch,

01:39the one I can see and the one I want.

01:42That worries me about a guy that just keeps pitching again and again

01:47and again in terms of through the order.

01:50It's not that he's pitching in his second game, Mike.

01:53He's going to see him for a fourth, fifth, and sixth time.

01:56And at some point, someone's going to rake one.

01:59Because he was in trouble in the first start against them.

02:02They had guys on the pond the entire game and he kept getting out of it.

02:07And he was inviting.

02:08He was like, come on, go ahead and boo me.

02:10You can't score.

02:12He was as cocky as ever.

02:14So I am tripping a little bit about the nerves and the amount of times he's

02:21going to see him go through the order.

02:23It's a worry to me.

02:25It really is.

02:26But he's better than they are.

02:27He is better than, he's better than Boyd.

02:31And he's better than the Guardians.

02:33He's the best pitcher in baseball.

02:35Will he step up tomorrow and prove it again?

02:39He's done it again and again and again and again.

02:41He is a horse.

02:43And he is a bull.

02:44I mean, this guy is huge.

02:46And he's strong as an ox.

02:48I mean, he reminds me of like a farmer, like a farmer pitcher.

02:52Remember, like these guys come in 6'4", 240, and he can throw it.

02:57Like, I mean, he just brings it.

03:00And he's got six pitches.

03:02The guy's a freak.

03:05He is a freak.

03:0613 shutout innings so far in the postseason.

03:09He will get the ball.

03:11He is a minus 130 favorite.

03:13The Guardians at home are dogs.

03:16Plus a buck ten.

03:17It will be Matthew Boyd, who started against Scouble in game number two.

03:21Him pitch awful either.

03:23Four and two-thirds of shutout ball against the Tigers.

03:26So, Boyd and Scouble, remember, now an afternoon game.

03:291 o'clock east was going to be at night.

03:32Weather, MLB actually using their head for once.

03:36Moves the game up to 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

03:39So, you got a little day ball.

03:40Winner will face the Yankees Monday night in game one.

03:44Look, I think that he's going to be a tough customer.

03:47But I think Boyd is equally tough.

03:49I think it's hard to lay that juice in this bet.

03:53I really do.

03:54I think the smarter bet is the Guardians at home.

03:59When he leaves that game in the seventh inning.

04:027, 8, 9 is when the Guardians have to win that game.

04:06They got to get to Detroit now.

04:08You know who they're going to throw.

04:10All these guys like our boy Bubby Brisky and all this other.

04:13They're going to throw everyone they can to hurt her.

04:15They're going to throw everyone they can for an out or two.

04:18Maybe an inning.

04:20Maybe it's just an out.

04:21I think the Guardians have to win that game like the Mets do in the eighth and ninth inning.

04:26So, 7, 8, 9 to me is when this game is going to be won.

04:29And I think that he has pitched, you know, shutout baseball.

04:3313 innings of shutout baseball.

04:35He's tough to deal with.

04:36But so is Boyd.

04:38I'm with you on the under.

04:40And I think that the better bet is probably Cleveland at that price at home.

04:46And getting it done in 7, 8, 9.

04:48I think Scooble will do his job.

04:51I think somebody else will screw it up.
