Hey Jamie,
ReplyDeleteMy official stance is Yankees in 6, though I think they could get it done in 5.
I believe Mike feels similarly; not sure what Matt's call is.
Larry speaks for me. I believe that the Yankees could dispatch of the Rangers in only 5 games, but I'm hesitant to predict that because the Rangers are a good team. So, Yanks in 6.
