"Since Aug. 5, New York has posted the best record in baseball, riding a month-and-a-half surge back into contention. They still trail the Toronto Blue Jays by three games in the AL East, with Toronto holding the head-to-head tiebreaker. That means the Yankees would need to go at least 5-1 while hoping the slumping Blue Jays stumble to a 2-4 finish or worse. It's a tall order, but Toronto's schedule down the stretch is far from forgiving."
"The Blue Jays will see Boston's top three starters in Garrett Crochet, Brayan Bello, and Lucas Giolito in a series that could decide October baseball. The Red Sox currently hold the second Wild Card spot and would be slated to visit the Bronx if the season ended today. But the season doesn't end today, and with just a one-game cushion, Boston is just as close to punching a playoff ticket as it is to an early trip to Cancun."
With the regular season winding down, the Yankees return home for a six-game homestand against the last-place Chicago White Sox and Baltimore Orioles. Since Aug. 5, New York has posted baseball's best record, mounting a month-and-a-half surge back into contention.
