As Virgil wrote in The Aeneid, Audentis Fortuna iuvat. Fortune favors the bold, indeed, and the Yankees can put that thinking to use in the coming weeks.
The New York Yankees will be one of two participants in the 2018 American League Wild Card game. At time of writing they were 8.5 games back of the division with 19 to play. They held the first wild card by 2.5 games over the Oakland Athletics, but after taking a series against Seattle this weekend, are up on the second wild card by ten games.
