It didn't start off well, but the Yankees have had their backs against the wall before. Actually, for this team, it's been a lot...
Will the Yankees defeat Toronto and move on to the ALCS?

"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."

It wont be pretty. And it already is not easy.
But they WILL win.
Fried is locked in, more so than at any point he's been at this seson. Yankees win today. Judge needs to stop trying to do too much and just let the game come to him. Also, Boone needs to stop sabotaging the Yankees chances by bringing Luke Weaver into close games. He's clearly not the same pitcher he was before getting injured.
With Rodon and then Superman, er, Schlitler lined up to pitch next, this series could easily tilt the Yankees way pretty quickly. However, if Toronto steals any one of the next three games, then it would come down to a decisive fifth game and potentially, another Gil start or perhaps a Luke Weaver start -- both of which…
Fried has not pitched well at all against Toronto. If the offense stays in a coma, this will be a three game sweep.
i feel good about our chances. that is about as close as i can go to a prediction... usually that is
today I actually will give a prediction on the individual player front
Judge hits at least 1 HR today. I feel it. I believe it
Of course they can. Having your top 3 starters ready for the next 3 games, where the Jays are patching things together, gives them the edge there. But outside of when he had the blister problem, that he pitched through with only one start pushed back. In fact, Fried only gave up 62 ER this year, and 31 of them came during his 8 Blister Starts. So, that means, his ERA the rest of the season was just at about 2.00. But the question really is about today, will the roof be open or closed? Being in those stands for numerous games when I lived up there, the place does play very different open vs closed.
