The Tampa Bay Rays didn’t have enjoyable end to their weekend in the Bronx, dropping the final two games in the season series and making it unlikely the Rays can catch the Yankees in the American League East.
The Rays and Seattle Mariners are tied for the top wild card spot and are 0.5 game ahead of the Toronto Blue Jays. The Baltimore Orioles have fallen 5.5 games off the pace as the only team that has a real outside chance of getting a wild card spot. FanGraphs gives the Orioles a 1.6% chance of clinching a wild card.
