After a significant showdown with the Boston Red Sox, the Yankees are set to face the Toronto Blue Jays in the playoffs.
This American League Divisional Series features the Yankees playing a best-of-five series against the Blue Jays. The Yankees have been vying for the AL East crown all season. The Blue Jays, however, clinched the division title on the final day of the regular season.
New York secured their spot in the ALDS by sweeping the Red Sox in the wildcard series, scoring a dominant 4-0 win, thanks largely to rookie Cam Schlitler, who pitched eight shutout innings and registered twelve strikeouts.
Though the Yankees and Blue Jays are often rivals in the regular season, this will be their first playoff encounter.
