With the Mariners in the A’s rear-view mirror, the next team straight ahead in the American League wild-card race is the Yankees, holding a mere 3 1/2-game edge over Oakland.

If both the A’s and Yankees qualify for the wild card, the team with the better record would host the one-game playoff. It would be Oakland’s first postseason appearance since its heartbreaking 9-8 wild-card loss in Kansas City four years ago.
