The better team doesn’t always win a one-game playoff. Here’s why the Yankees will do just that.
Here we go.
After an outstanding regular season, the Yankees have a date with destiny in the Bronx on Wednesday night in the American League Wild Card Game.
Win or go home vs. a really good, really smart and really dangerous Oakland Athletics team.
As we saw in the National League with the Rockies taking down the Cubs in Wrigley Field, these one-game playoffs are not determined by the more “talented” roster, better record or home field. It’s all about nine (or more) innings of execution.
Watch the video above for my thoughts on why the Yankees are built for this scene, and how they’ll take down a fearless A’s team to move on.
