Facing elimination last night in game 4 of the World Series, the New York Yankees stood their ground and lived to see another day by pummeling the Los Angeles Dodgers, 11-4. Tonight at the Stadium with momentum on their side, the Yankees will send their ace, Gerrit Cole, to the hill. Cole, who is 1-0 in the postseason with a 2.82 ERA, was pitching a gem in game 1 and for some unknown reason Aaron Boone made another bonehead decision, pulling his flamethrower after 6 innings and the Yankees went on to lose in extras, 6-3. The Dodgers are expected to send Jack Flaherty to the hill. Flaherty is 1-2 in the postseason with a 6.10 ERA. He was sharp in game 1 against the Yankees but left the game with a hamstring pull which could be an issue tonight. Yankees Stadium is going to be electric, the Bombers bats have awoken, and New York will have one of the best in the business on the hill, Gerrit Cole. Aaron Boone is one of the most inept managers the game has ever seen. If he just stays out of it and lets Gerrit Cole do his thing, the Yankees head to Los Angeles for game 6.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES
