New York Yankees -1.5 (+104) over Cleveland Guardians
The statistic has been floating around social media everywhere, but it still bears repeating. The Yankees were 167-0 in the postseason when entering the 9th inning with a lead prior to last night. That stat was ruined when manager Aaron Boone decided to use set-up man Clarke Schmidt as the closer. Due to that move and eventual collapse, New York is now on the brink of elimination. That would put 3 of the 4 favorites in the Divisional round back at home on the couch.
