After previously making enemies with Kansas City Royals fans in the ALDS, New York Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. isn't endearing himself to fans of the other remaining playoff teams by predicting the champion has already been decided.
Speaking to ESPN's Jeff Passan, Chisholm said the Yankees are "World Series champions. No other doubt in my mind" as his team takes a 2-0 series lead into Game 3 of the American League Championship Series on Thursday.
Chisholm's quote was part of an answer about the possibility that Aaron Judge is ready to take off following his two-run homer in the seventh inning of New York's 6-3 win over the Cleveland Guardians in Game 2.
