Today on Pinstripe Alley – 9/14/24

This winning streak has been more memorable than any other in recent Yankees history. Two walk-offs and a thrilling comeback win last night helped the Yankees to their largest division lead in three months. Another win today would give the team a second straight series win at the crucial time. They have just the right man on the mound for the job: Gerrit Cole takes the ball against the talented Boston starter Brayan Bello.

Before tonight's matinee, Sam writes the latest entry in the 1999 Yankees diary while I review a busy Friday night of AL action. Plus, Nick Power weighs in on the versatility Jon Berti can bring as a reliever, Kunj praises new relief hero Luke Weaver, and Josh breaks down the Austin Wells RoY case.

Questions/prompts:

1. FanGraphs' playoff odds give the Yankees the best World Series odds of any AL team, while Baseball Prospectus' odds give them the best odds of any team in baseball. Are you as optimistic about the team's chances as the projections?

2. Will the Yankees get our pulses racing again with a more comfortable win sometime this weekend?
