It is all moot if Cleveland wins.

With all the swirling of the Baseball playoff possibilities on the line today, outcomes are very confusing. So, here is a quick breakdown:

NY Yankees and the Boston Red Sox are tied for first place in the AL East.

With last night’s lost by the Cleveland Indians, they are both now one game ahead of Cleveland for the Wild Card.

So…if Cleveland loses today, they will be eliminated and both the Yankees and the Red Sox will make the playoffs. However, if the Yankees win, they will win the AL East because they will not need a playoff game and the regular season head-to-head record will come into play.
