Ben opens the show from the Rogers Centre where we are here all week ahead of Jays/Yankees. It's all about Aaron Judge and the pressure he is under and how he's handling it. Jon Morosi (5:00) joins the show and has been impressed with how the Yankees start has managed expectation and a media circus during this chase. Later the Jays are getting closer to having to make a call on Joe Berrios and whether or not he's in the top 3 for the playoffs.
