The New York Yankees, based on preseason expectations, should’ve locked up a playoff spot by now. Instead, they’re a half-game out of the AL Wild Card race (yes, forget about winning the division!) and will have to beat opponents over the next week that they’ve largely been incapable of beating.
This season just keeps getting better and better, doesn’t it?
Though Yankees fans might feel dejected given the state of the team right now and honestly might not even care if they make it to October or not, New York does have a pretty good shot at keeping their season alive.
