What happened: Cam Schlittler said he expects plenty of Yankees fans at Tropicana Field and believes the road setting could feel close to home. The game has not started yet and remains 0-0.

Why it matters: Crowd balance can cut into a typical road-field edge before a pitch is thrown. Schlittler's remark frames the atmosphere as part of the matchup before anything changes on the field.

What to watch: Watch how the stadium sounds once play begins and whether that carries into Schlittler's opening work.
