Yankees-Red Sox Wild Card Series Pretty Much Guaranteed Now

The New York Yankees trail the Tampa Bay Rays by six games with seven games left to play, but they have already punched their ticket to the postseason.

The Yankees had a very slim chance of winning the division and securing a bye, but now it looks like an extreme long shot. The Rays can clinch the division by winning just one of the four games they have remaining against the Yankees, and even if they get swept, they are in the driver's seat to win the division.
