The Yankees’ postseason begins today. Okay, maybe not in the literal sense, but they have to approach every game with a playoff mentality. At the very least, New York has to win each remaining series — however many that might end up being — to keep their season alive. That begins tonight with the first of three games against the Red Sox in Fenway.
Although the Rays continue to easily pace the AL East, the Red Sox hold a two-game lead over the Yankees in the Wild Card race with Toronto right on their heels.
