The New York Yankees won’t win the World Series, they won’t even make the playoffs. That much has been established, but there is still a month-plus to be played, and willingly or not, the Yankees find themselves in the thick of things, as a potential pendulum swinger in this AL Wild Card race.
On the heels of Baltimore, and with six games up on the rest of the Wild Card contenders, Tampa would have to mess things up to miss the postseason. Thus, we’re left with two spots to go between four teams: the Houston Astros, Seattle Mariners, Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox.
