Judge left off roster -- not a surprise.

Weathers added and Rosario dropped. Yankees carrying 11 pitchers.

But Weathers doesn't frighten the Rays -- they're in a dome.

The Eek factor: Yankees have only won 2 of last 10 playoff series when they have the home field disadvantage.

Yankees have won 8 straight playoff series at home -- which it is extremely unlikely they will have another one this year

Yankees really need to win AT LEAST one of these games to have a chance to end the series at YS

Over / Under: SBs by Yankees 3.5

The key of the game is can the Yankees hit Rasmussen. He owns the Yankees.

you can write it a million times,

it's still no more than monkeyshine.

but I've no desire to deprive you of comfort that attends perching upon a bust of Pallas and getting all ghastly grim.

Hey Phil, is it me, or are the Yankees trotting out the same lineup as Wedne5night? Making it two games in a row!

Can't be!! Boone's DNA would not allow that.

—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
