Who said the Astros never did anything good for the Yankees?
While the Yankees lost their second straight game and missed a chance to clinch the American League's top seed for the playoffs, the Astros defeated the Guardians on Saturday night to do just that.
This would give the Yankees home-field advantage throughout the ALCS, and it's very likely they'll face their playoff rivals, the Astros.
The top-seeded Yankees will play the Orioles and the winner of either the Tigers or Royals in the ALDS starting next Saturday.
As the No. 2 seed, the Guardians will face the winner of the Astros and either the Tigers or Royals.
The Yankees entered Sunday's final day of the regular season with the AL's best record and a one-game lead over the Guardians, but they were able to win the tiebreaker and clinch the top seed Saturday.
