Welcome to the 74th episode of the Hottest Take Sports Podcast with your host Johnny Achkar and special guest Ethan Heiss. In this episode, they cover the Cleveland Guardians Wild Card series vs the Tampa Bay Rays and preview the ALDS series vs the New York Yankees. To begin, they recap the Tampa series with the key players including the pitching performances of Shane Bieber and Triston McKenzie. Next, they talk about the series structure and dive into some stats that have made the Yankees so good this season. This includes their lethal home-run hitting lineup, shut-down pitching staff, and just how the Guardians match up vs them. They also preview potential pitching rotations for the Guardians and how they line up vs the Yankees' top aces. Finally, John and Ethan give their predictions on how they think the best of 3 series will turn out.
