The race for the American League East title ended last night, and the Yankees have to quickly turn their eyes to the ever persistent Oakland Athletics in the standings. The two teams don’t have any meetings remaining however, so the only thing left to do is take care of business against the opponents in front of the Yankees.
Enter Baltimore. The Orioles have the worst record in baseball, but they’ve been a persistent thorn in New York’s side this season. This is the last opportunity the Yankees will get to face the Orioles, so time is running out to flip the script on this matchup.
