00:00For Lugo, who's pitching for the Royals tonight, judges 0 for 8 with 3 strikeouts.
00:08So he has not gotten a hit off of Seth Lugo in his career.
00:12I mean, few have here done well against Lugo on the Yankees.
00:16Chisholm Jazz is 1 for 11 with 5 strikeouts, Stanton 3 for 14 with 6 strikeouts.
00:23Soto is 5 for 18, but he has struck out a bunch against him, does have one homer.
00:28You know, it's not pretty.
00:31Let's just say that.
00:32Some of the history against Lugo, who as you know, Scott, he's been very good for the Royals.
00:36Was good last week as well for them in Houston.
00:39Or, you know, yes, in Baltimore.
00:43Yeah, listen, I'm scared to death of this team tonight at that place, at the K.
00:49You know what it reminds me of?
00:51It reminds me of the way they play in Anaheim and at the Ashtray in Oakland.
00:57You go to Kansas City and they lay eggs there as well, right?
01:01Like, have you ever seen them dominate at Kansas City?
01:05I haven't.
01:07And they've been in all kinds of games there over the years, playoff games or otherwise.
01:11That ballpark's been there for 50 years.
01:14It's one of the oldest ballparks in Major League Baseball.
01:17And it's a house of horrors as far as I'm concerned.
01:20I'm scared to death of the game.
01:23And I'm scared to death of Clark Schmidt.
01:25I'm scared to death of Lugo.
01:26I'm scared to death to just even watch the game because I know I'm going to lose my temper.
01:31Every time I watch him, I lose my temper.
01:33When I watch this guy bat and swing and miss by a foot on every pitch, I don't even recognize
01:38him.
01:39I don't even...
01:40That's...
01:41It's not him.
01:42It's...
01:43It's a wax doll.
01:44I don't know what it is.
01:45It's Madame Tussauds.
01:46I don't know who this guy is.
01:47That's not Aaron Judge.
01:49The guy had 144 RBIs.
01:52I mean, the guy hits 320.
01:54The guy hits 58 homers.
01:55And he goes into postseason, he can't lift a ball out of the infield.
01:59It strikes out every time he's up.
02:01Misses every pitch by a foot.
02:03Nobody else on that team can hit.
02:05It's unbelievable what happens to them when he gets shut down, they get shut down.
02:10I am very worried.
02:12I'd buy the Royals tonight.
02:14Now watch the Yankees win by seven run.
02:16Listen, this has...
02:18It's getting the feel of the same thing we've seen with the Yankees in the playoffs.
02:24The last five, six years, they just don't hit when the money gets put on the table in
02:32the postseason.
02:33They are favored, though, tonight on the road in Kansas City.
02:36They're minus a buck 20 right now.
02:38The Royals are even money.
02:40And this, our biggest total of the day, an eight and a half.
02:43The book's expecting some runs between these two.
02:46Yeah, well, what do you think?
02:50I think runs as well based on who's pitching.
02:53But, you know, I don't know.
02:56I don't think the Yankees are going to be the ones scoring runs.
03:01As pessimistic and as much as I drag the Yankees around here, especially over the past couple
03:07of years, I just feel like they're going to find a way tonight in Kansas City.
03:15I'm actually taking the Yankees tonight.
03:17I do think they're going to win.
03:21And then I do think, how about this?
03:22I'll give you one more.
03:23I think if they win tonight, Cole will pitch great tomorrow and shut down Kansas City and
03:27end it in four.
