The Yankees defeated the Blue Jays by a score of 6-2, won the series two games to one and with three games to go, the New York team is very close to confirming its presence in the postseason.
What do the Yankees need to qualify?
With mark of 91-68, the “Bronx Bombers” have a two-game lead over Red Sox and Mariners and they are three games ahead of the Blue Jays in the fight for the two wild card tickets.
Given the above, the magic number of New York is two. This means the organization requires a pair of wins or a Boston and Seattle win or setbacks to move forward. In the event of losing their last three meetings, the Yankees require two losses from the Red Sox and Mariners and a stumble from Toronto.
Should the Yankees maintain their position in the wild card seed, they will be the locals in the game for the AL wild card.
Although the Yankees have an accessible route to the postseason on paper, their last test in the regular season will not be easy. they will face the already proclaimed champions of the AL East, the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Yankees’ games against the Rays will be held in New York And these are the schedules for the final series of the campaign in the Bronx: Friday, October 1 at 7:05 p.m. ET, Saturday 2 at 1:05 p.m. ET and Sunday 3 at 3:05 p.m.
