With the Boston Red Sox defeating the New York Yankees in the ALDS last night, the stage is officially set for the ALCS and the NLCS.

They also discuss whether the Yankees might want a redo on the Giancarlo Stanton trade, how the Houston Astros took down the Cleveland Indians and their predictions for who we might see in the 114th edition of the World Series.
