The lame part of the 16-team playoffs is they're still a lock to make it instead of sweating out having to play in a wild card game
Barring some swings in the standings, it kind of looks like we sort of know the 8 teams making the playoffs in the AL. The only question will be what order.
The Yankees are not really impressive in any way right now. Their pitching staff of soft after Cole and their lineup is a mess. One of the pundits on MLB Radio commented today, "if I looked at the Tigers lineup and the Yankees lineup starting today, which one would I want?...I think I want the Tigers..."
Yankees could easily win up being the 7th or 8th seed.
