The Yankees took the 2018 Wild Card Game against the Athletics at Yankees Stadium, and this year, there’s at least a decent chance these two teams will meet again in a one-game playoff. The Yankees own the first Wild Card slot, with the A’s just two games out of the second spot. They’ll meet this weekend in a four-game set by the Bay that could have major postseason implications.
It’s always tough to play in Oakland — the Yankees have gone 1-9 there since 2017, and if I were managing the squad, would re-institute an N95 mask policy just because I don’t trust that facility.
