Thanks to last night’s rainout, the Yankees and Orioles will play two games today. It’s a split admission doubleheader, which makes for a very long day at the ballpark. Thankfully the Yankees already clinched a postseason berth and don’t need to play with a ton of urgency today.
That said, home field advantage in the wildcard game is still on the line, and it would be nice to get that clinched as soon as possible. All it takes is one win or one Astros loss. You can’t count on the latter happening — Houston demolished the Diamondbacks last night, I’m talking 21-5 — so taking one of these two games today would be appreciated.
