Yankee Win Probability: 68.2%
A Yankee win tonight knocks the Rays’ tragic number down to six. With Boston hosting Baltimore tonight in a guaranteed win, the Yankees absolutely HAVE to win this game if they want to shrink their magic number. Shrinking one’s magic number is important, so any game where that can be accomplished is important by diffusion.
Go Yankees.
