Entering Sunday's slate, the Yankees have a hefty five-game lead over the Twins for the top AL wild-card spot. At the same time, they trail the Red Sox by three games in the AL East. That's why in our most recent look at the SportsLine MLB playoff projections, the Yanks were given a 77.8 percent chance of making the postseason but just a 31 percent chance of winning the division. So while the AL East is still in play, the Yankees are very likely to host the AL Wild Card Game.
