It took a little longer to lock things into place than I think we all expected, but it is now official: the Yankees will take on the Twins in the 2017 AL Wild Card Game. The Red Sox clinched the AL East title with their win over the Astros this afternoon. The Yankees clinched homefield advantage in the Wild Card Game a few days ago.
The five AL postseason teams are in place, though the best record in the league is still up for grabs, so the seeding is not final just yet. One more Indians win or one more Astros loss clinches the AL’s best record for Cleveland.
