Leave it to the Yankees to let the same guy beat them 2 nights in a row. Great advance scouting.

Agree. I have more confidence in Cortes.Ace
he will start but does not at all deserve to start game 1 of the playoffs
Yankees magic # in the AL East Is 11 over Toronto, and 10 over Tampa Bay.
Sounds like a lot, with only 16 games to go, but we play Pittsburgh and Boston this week. Tampa Bay started a 3 game series with Houston last night (and they have another one next weekend), and Toronto begins a 2 game set in Philly tonight. Then, the Rays and Jays play a 4-game set with each other at the Trop this weekend, so the magic # will go down automatically.
We clearly have the easiest remaining schedule of the three, so it should be just a matter of time before we clinch the East (hopefully in the next week, or so), and a first round bye (Cleveland, who leads the AL Central, has a worse record than any of the AL Wild Card teams).
Actually, the AL playoff field is pretty much set, since Seattle holds a 5-game lead over fading Baltimore for the last Wild Card spot.

We will get to see how good Harrison Bader is tonight:

Also Montas to the IL.
Bader makes Yankees debut as Montas hits IL
Harrison Bader made his Yankees debut Tuesday night, but left-hander Frankie Montas was placed on the 15-day injured list with shoulder inflammation in a corresponding move.

Think there's some undue pressure on Bader, because the Montgomery trade was unpopular to begin with, and with the way Montgomery has pitched for St. Louis.
Just remember, it's not Bader's fault that we traded away Montgomery.

It should not be very difficult for him to outperform Hicks.
