    Aaron Judge's trolling was one reason the New York Yankees lost their American League Division Series to the Boston Red Sox.That's according to former Yankee Mark Teixeira http://www.brewersfanproshop.com/authentic-ryan-braun-jersey , at least.Teixeira was on ESPN's Get Up! on Wednesday and said Judge's decision to walk past Boston's clubhouse after New York's Game 2 victory while playing the song New York, New York, was a "huge mistake," implying it further motivated the American League East champions (h/t Andrew Marchand of the New York Post).The YES Network shared Judge's trolling after the Yankees evened the series at a game apiece:YES Network YESNetworkLooks like Aaron Judge brought a little piece of New York with him to Boston. 72DY52ewsFThe Yankees famously play the song after home wins, and the victorious Red Sox were not about to let their celebration pass without having some fun of their own. As CBS Sports passed along, Boston played its archrival's victory song in the winning clubhouse at Yankee Stadium following Game 4:CBS Sports CBSSportsAfter Yankees Game 2 Win: Aaron Judge plays quot;New York, New Yorkquot; walking out of FenwayTonight: Red Sox return the favorepIHacF8GXDespite Teixeira's comments, there was already plenty of motivation in place for the Red Sox.They were playing their rivals on a national stage, were looking for their first playoff series win since 2013 and needed to defeat the Yankees to ensure an MLB-best 108 wins didn't end in a first-round exit.Judge's postgame actions didn't cause New York pitchers to allow 16 runs in an embarrassing Game 3 home loss or make Gleyber Torres ground out to end Game 4 with two runners on base while facing a one-run deficit. The Red Sox led MLB in runs (876) Travis Shaw Jersey , OPS (.792), batting average (.268) and hits (1,509) and would've likely found their stride regardless of the music.Boston turns its attention to the American League Championship Series against the defending champion Houston Astros. Maybe Jose Altuve will walk past the Red Sox's clubhouse early in the series while playing music if the chance to reach the World Series isn't enough motivation. The Boston Red Sox have powered their way through the playoffs, and now they wait to find out who they will play in the 2018 World Series.The team swept three games in Houston to win the American League Championship Series in five games, using clutch power hitting from ALCS Most Valuable Player Jackie Bradley Jr., Rafael Devers and J.D. Martinez to defeat the defending World Series champion Houston Astros.The Sox also received brilliant outfield defense from Bradley, Mookie Betts and Andrew Benintendi, along with excellent pitching from Nathan Eovaldi, Rick Porcello and David Price to advance.Neither top starter Chris Sale nor ace closer Craig Kimbrel were at their best Paul Molitor Jersey , but the Red Sox were still able to vanquish their respected opponents.

The Dodgers lead the National League Championship Series 3-2 heading into Friday's sixth game. If the Dodgers can win either Friday or Saturday, they will get back to the World Series for the second year in a row.However, if the Brewers win Games 6 and 7, they will represent the National League in the World Series for the first time in team history. The Brewers went to the World Series in 1982 as the American League champions but switched leagues after the 1997 season.The Brewers lost their only World Series appearance in seven games to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1982. The Dodgers lost to the Astros in seven games last year.The Red Sox have won their three most recent World Series appearances in 2004, 2007 and 2013. NLCS Game 6When:Friday, Oct. 19, at 8:39 p.m. ETWhere:Miller Park in MilwaukeeTV:FS1Live Stream:Fox Sports GoThe Dodgers are giving Hyun-Jin Ryu the ball in Game 6, while the Brewers have designated Wade Miley as their starter.This may sound familiar since Miley opened Game 5 in Los Angeles for the Brew Crew Matt Garza Jersey , but manager Craig Counsell removed him after one batter.That bit of subterfuge did not work for the Brewers since they lost the game and find themselves on the brink of elimination. However, Miley was effective in Game 2 of the series as he pitched 5.2 innings and allowed two hits.Ryu also started in Game 2, giving up two runs and six hit in 4.1 innings. He had been much better against the Atlanta Braves in the NLDS.The Brewers struggled to hit in their three games in Los Angeles, and they hope to get the big bats of Christian Yelich, Jesus Aguilar and Travis Shaw going. Those three combined for 103 home runs during the regular season.The Dodgers are looking for production from Justin Turner, Manny Machado and Cody Bellinger. Turner has proved to be one ofthe sport's best postseason hitters, and he has a career slash line of .313/.433/.531 with seven home runs and 30 runs batted in.Game 6 of the NLCS is considered dead even by the handicappers. Both the Dodgers and Brewers are minus-110 in the game, per OddsShark. This means that a gambler would have to risk $110 on either team to win $100.The Dodgers are minus-400 to win the National League pennant while the Brewers are plus-300. The Red Sox are minus-150 to win the World Series, while the Dodgers are plus-190 and the Brewers are plus-650 to land the championship. PredictionsThe Brewers should benefit from their return to Miller Park and their supportive fans. Game 6 in Milwaukee should be close http://www.brewersfanproshop.com/authentic-stephen-vogt-jersey , but look for Yelich or Shaw to come through with the big hits that force a seventh game.We see the Brewers surviving that finale as the Dodgers' all-or-nothing approach at the plate is likely to fail. Machado or Turner could hit solo home runs, but they will fall short of matching Milwaukee's production.That will set the stage for a Boston-Milwaukee World Series. Earlier in the postseason, the Brewers looked like they were on a magical run, but that may be over.Boston is the better team and will beat the Brewers in six games.World Series tickets can be purchased throughStubHub.NLCS tickets can be purchased through StubHub.
