NEW YORK (WABC) -- In a season so poetic, the New York Yankees look to add one more win against the Houston Astros for the right to play the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. Here's a bold prediction described with rhymes:



Give the ball to the man who has done it all



Big game after big game the big fella has gotten the call


He has a "ten and oh" record after the Yankees fall


So Joe Girardi is confident CC Sabathia will give it his all



Because this is it, the time is now to win it or be eliminated


Good thing is, the Yankees are familiar with this


They know that in Game 7, they need to take care of business



And do to the Astros, what they did to the Indians



For those who have witnessed, it started with the Twins


Then comeback after comeback, the Bombers persisted


With blistered baseballs, they overcame missed calls


And called on the Judge to restore order and law



But this team was fun even before this playoff run



From the chambers in right-field, to a stadium of thumbs


To the "Toe-night Show" which had begun from a series of home runs


This do-or-die mentality has been the theme of the month



So whose side are you on, New York or Houston?


In this winner-takes-all, LA will host the Yankees at home.
