The Yankees dropped their series finale in Seattle on Thursday afternoon, falling by a single run in a slow-paced game. Meanwhile, in Baltimore, the Orioles walked off the Giants, tightening the race for the AL East. With the Yankees’ magic number now at six, the division title remains up for grabs as the final stretch looms. This weekend’s series is crucial, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown between the Yankees and Orioles in the Bronx from September 24-26. It feels like the division could very well come down to those three games.
As the Orioles take on the red-hot Tigers, the Yankees will head to Oakland for what may be their last visit to the iconic Coliseum. A preview of that three-game series will be coming soon, courtesy of Matt, who will also discuss in the Rivalry Roundup how the Tigers managed to claw their way into a Wild Card spot. Meanwhile, Sam will dive into the historically competitive AL MVP race, Madison will answer your mailbag questions, and Smith will break down the performances of various Baby Bomber prospects as the Minor League Baseball season draws to a close.
