So, if we tie for the Division, we play one in Baltimore and then (if we win),1 in TB. If it's Oaklnad and not TB, where would that game be? It's seems either way, if we don't Win the Division, we have a hard road to the PS. [8] I don’t know if I counted correctly, but I think we split our series with Oakland and lost the series to TB.

It’s seems either way, if we don’t Win the Division, we have a hard road to the PS.

While it would be nice to 'Win our way' into the PS, a couple of Baltimore loses would be handy. One way or the other, the Division is decided in the last 3 games, where: The Boids play the Rays in TAMPA BAY. We play the Sox in YANKEE STADIUM. If TB is playing for a WC spot, they will obviously play their hearts out. While I'm sure the Sox would love to knock us out, we should be able to beat them. This will be close, but the schedule ceratinly favors us. We simply can't have play ANY more games like last night. And while a Strike Out is just an out.... When we have 1st and 2nd, no outs.... Granderson HAS to put the ball in play. It's may be a small thing, but in close games, we HAVE to move runners over. You can't make fun of productive outs. Our guys really have to play better situational ball. TB is now within 3 games of Baltimore, and tied with LAA, 2 games out of the second WC spot.

There's a chance the Yankees or Orioles could be play three consecutive "playoff games" in different cities if things broke right/wrong.

If we tie for the Division, we play the O's a 1 game playoff in Baltimore. If we lose that game, we are a WC and have a 1 game Playoff against the other WC. Where is that game (assumed against the A's or TB). Since we had a better regular season record, would the WC playoff be in NY? So… tell me if this is correct.

Both teams only play A.L. East opponents, so if the Yanks ended up with a better record in the division, they'd also wind up with at least a 3 game lead.

Home field is determined by the team with the better record in the AL East. Yanks are 36-29; O's are 39-27. Six games left.
