The more I watch these wildcard teams, the more I believe that, by falling to the #2 seed, the Yankees are getting the softer first round landing, by playing the Twins. Nothing's guaranteed, but I look at these four teams, and Minnesota is the one that scares me the least. I can't worry about Houston, when there is no guarantee that we would even play them, should we reach the ALCS (I won't predict Houston to lose to the wildcard winner, but stranger things have happened).
Speaking of Minnesota, they hit 2 home runs tonight, to tie us at 299. They play tomorrow, so they are likely to become the first team in MLB history to hit 300 home runs in a season. Hopefully, the Yankee bats find themselves again, in the Ballpark at Arlington's final series ever.
