While watching the Red Sox clinch the AL East at Fenway Park, we kept a close eye on the Green Monster scoreboard. Specifically, we were paying attention to the New York Yankees-Toronto Blue Jays game. If the Yankees lost, the Red Sox would have automatically clinched the AL East. Of course, the Yankees did not lose. They beat the Jays 2-1 and the Sox won the division in their own right.
This means the Yankees have earned a AL Wild Card berth and will host the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night in the AL Wild Card Game.
Many did not expect the Yankees to reach the post-season, but Aaron Judge proved more than ready for prime time. (I will be writing an article for NRO about Judge which should be up just in time for the Wild Card match up).
Honestly, I'm not surprised the Yankees are in the post-season as I picked them to win the AL pennant. It remains to be seen if they'll get that far, but I would be shocked if they don't beat the Twins on Tuesday night.
