It is in G Cole's hands, I believe

I would like to see more off speed stuff - for Cole to pitch a little backwards - and not just vs JD, Xander and Devers

2 outs into the seventh (6 2/3+) with 2 runs or less - or Yanks lose.

Pulling for the guy.

MLB.co "experts" picks

8-2 in favor of Dodgers
7-3 in favor of Yanks

https://www.mlb.com/news/2021-mlb-playoff-expert-predictions

They also predicted that Houston would win the WS in 2018 and that NY would beat Boston in the ALDS. Oh, and the Dodgers would not make it to the World Series.

Thanks for the link.

All ten of them?

You're such a fool.  I was simply lining them up as our tallies were being recorded - for comparison.

Numberfire gives the Red Sox a 52% chance of winning, while the Dodgers get a 61% chance.

But most folks around are giving the Yankees the nod.

I' chose Sox and Dodgers, above, before seeing this link, but after looking at bunches of other.

No, not all ten of them. Couldn't find the full slate.

I was simply sharing my reaction to their prediction. Why you think that makes me a fool is beyond me. Must be more foolishness in your eyes. I can cope.

Do you have any links to articles picking the Yankees in the 2018 ALDS? The Red Sox were pretty solid favorites, they won 8 more games than the Yankees that season and the Yankees ace, (such as it was) wasn't going to pitch until Game 3 of that series.

Cole has yet to show the stones to warrant your faith in him.

I think Fenway makes a difference, here. And I wouldn't be surprised if it goes to extra innings, before the Sox walk it off.

Rizzo did a good amount of leading off for the Cubs.
