We’ve almost come to the end of this crazy 60-game season. Just a short time ago, it was a legitimate question whether or not the Yankees would make the playoffs. After getting it together and winning 10 straight games before Sunday’s loss, the Bombers are officially going to the postseason.
This will be our first look at the new expanded playoff format. The first round is a best-of-three series that all 16 playoff teams will participate in. Gerrit Cole and Masahiro Tanaka are locks to start Games 1 & 2 for the Yankees. If there is a Game 3, the decision comes down to two choices.
