Yankees’ Division Dreams Fading After Series Loss to D-Backs, Another Rays Win: ‘It’s Gonna Be Tough’
FanGraphs gives New York a 1.0% chance to win the division as the Yankees need a sweep and help from other teams.
- On Tuesday, the New York Yankees host the Tampa Bay Rays for a four-game series at Yankee Stadium, where the Rays need only one win to clinch the American League East title.
- Trailing the Rays by six games with seven games remaining, the Yankees face slim odds as FanGraphs assigns New York just a 1.0% chance to win the division.
- Carlos Rodon and Max Fried start Tuesday's doubleheader for New York, which continues without captain Aaron Judge, sidelined on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain.
- Manager Aaron Boone said "we're going to show up Tuesday and try and kick their butt," emphasizing the team's resolve to build momentum for the postseason.
- While the division title remains unlikely, the Yankees have already secured a postseason berth and are expected to host the Boston Red Sox in a best-of-three Wild Card series next week.
