The New York Yankees, fresh off an exciting Wild Card Series victory against the Boston Red Sox, were hoping to carry that momentum into the ALDS against the Toronto Blue Jays this weekend. However, things have turned very sour and the Bronx Bombers now find themselves in a 0–2 hole as the series shifts to New York.

On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the Blue Jays’ successful weekend against their division rivals, as their pitching dominated the star-studded Yankees lineup. With Kevin Gausman and Trey Yesavage shoving in their starts—along with Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s offensive power—Toronto now finds itself one victory away from an ALCS berth and sending the Yankees home.

Also on this episode, the guys talk about the Seattle Mariners winning their first home postseason game since 2001 and evening their series with the Detroit Tigers. As the series moves to the Motor City on Tuesday, Jake and Jordan discuss who holds the upper hand in this tightly contested best-of-five matchup. They also recap the Game 1 matchups in the NLDS, which saw Shohei Ohtani lead the Dodgers to a win against the Philadelphia Phillies and the Milwaukee Brewers' impressive offensive output versus the Chicago Cubs.
