Tomorrow night the Yankees and Athletics will play the win or go home AL Wild Card Game at Yankee Stadium. We’ve been through this twice already — the Yankees lost to the Astros in the 2015 Wild Card Game and beat the Twins in the 2017 Wild Card Game — but that doesn’t make it any easier. The prospect of a 100-win season being washed away in one game is scary.
With the game less than 36 hours away, we still don’t know who will start for either team. The Yankees have been mulling it over for weeks — my guess is it’ll be Luis Severino, but what do I know — and so have the Athletics, who have been hammered by rotation injuries and don’t have an obvious Wild Card Game starter.
