The AL wild-card game will be in the Bronx, where the New York Yankees bats have always felt at home.
The Yankees cleared the Fenway fences four times on Friday night to tie the major league single-season home run record, clinching home-field advantage for the upcoming one-game playoff against Oakland with a 11-6 victory over the Boston Red Sox.

I signed up a new sports subscription and they are playing now but I promised my kid we would watch The Baby Boss this evening...
Boo hiss...
Excellent!
Haven’t watched baseball in years but since I go back to Mantle, Maris, Whitey and Yogi I’ll watch the Yanks.
They are going to have to go with Happ. I was hoping for Tanaka but he has been ineffective the last two starts.
yuck the fankees.
I’d like to think Oakland might beat them but unfortunately Oakland always chokes and especially always chokes against the Yankees. Oakland has zero chance.
Yay!
My favorite team!

Go Yankees, love those Bombers since the mid 60’s
Milwaukee 5 Detroit 5 Top 7th
Milwaukee needs to win to stay even with the Cubs for first in the NL Central
NL Central has Cubs and Brewers tied going into the last scheduled game of the regular season.
NL West has Rockies and Dodgers tied going into the last scheduled game of the regular season.
Possibly TWO tie-breaker 163rd games in the NL!
Braves Dodgers and Rockies all have 90-71 records.
DAMN YANKEES
You didn’t mention Phil Risotto
oops, Phil Rizzuto.
