The New York Yankees are in a lot of trouble, down 0-2 to the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS Best of 5. Once again, the first two losses can be attributed to poor starting lineup decisions and horrendous bullpen management by Aaron Boone. Tonight the venue switches to Yankee Stadium for the next two, if necessary, and if the Yankees are going to win a game in this series this will be it. Carlos Rodón is slated to get the start for New York. The southpaw has been at the top of his game at 18-9 with a 3.09 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP. Shane Bieber is expected on the hill for the Jays. Bieber is 4-2 with a 3.57 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP. The Jays are a force at Rogers Centre but on the road not so good and they are 0-6 in their last 6 road playoff games. If Boone lets Rodón pitch deep into the game, which he is very capable of doing, and not turn to a very shaky bullpen like Boone usually does, they might win this one.
