The Yankees are now 15 games over .500. If they play .500 for the rest of the year, they’d end the season 88.5 - 73.5. Since that is not possible given the rules of MLB, that makes this game important. Win this one, then go .500 over the rest of the season and they end up at 89-73. That is entirely possible.
Go Yankees.
