With each passing day, we see a clearer picture of what the first round of the postseason could be for both leagues. The Houston Astros hold the tie-breaker over the Yankees, so it’s becoming less likely the Bombers will enjoy home-field advantage in a possible ALCS matchup.
That leaves the Minnesota Twins as the most probable ALDS opponent, reigniting a series that gave us one of the most exciting games of the year. You know, the one that ended on an amazing Aaron Hicks sliding catch. We saw them have a slugfest in Minnesota, and the two clubs in a home-run race could clash again.
