2025 ALDS Preview, Matchups & Predictions (10/4/25) - CF28-115
Episode 115 of Chase for 28 sets the stage for the American League Division Series between the Yankees and the Blue Jays. Chris and the Podcast Padre rewind the Wild Card win, revisit last episode’s trivia answer, and look ahead to a best-of-five series that promises pressure-packed baseball.
The conversation dives into pitching matchups (Luis Gil, Max Fried, Carlos Rodón, and Cam Schlittler vs. Gausman, Bieber, and a rookie arm), positional advantages across the diamond, and why the Yankees’ ability to handle pressure could be the deciding factor. They also discuss the impact of injuries (Bellinger’s heel, Bichette’s absence, Berríos’ elbow), the role of contact hitting, and whether Toronto’s layoff helps or hurts them. Predictions are made for both the Yankees’ series and across the league, while SeatGeek powers another sponsorship shoutout. The episode wraps with a brand-new trivia challenge digging into Yankees pitching history.
