With only one week left in the 2015 regular season, the Yankees are closing in on clinching their first playoff berth since 2012. I, for one, still hold out hope that they will win the division and I will continue to do so until the end. The current 4 1/2 game lead the Yankees have over the Astros for the first wild card spot should allow them to set things up to their liking for the start of the playoffs, no matter how things end up this last week.
The Astros have been in a bit of a free fall since relinquishing the division lead to the Texas Rangers this month.
