Game 158: Two to clinch

The Yankees can clinch a playoff berth today. It would take a win over the Blue Jays and an Angels’ loss to the Rangers to guarantee one of the two wildcard spots, and it can all happen in the matter of a few hours. I know we’re all hoping the Yankees will win the AL East crown, but the division title and a wildcard spot are not mutually exclusive for New York. The Yankees have to clinch one before the other, and with a little help they can get step one out of the way today. Here’s the starting nine…

DH Derek Jeter
LF Ichiro Suzuki
3B Alex Rodriguez
2B Robinson Cano
1B Nick Swisher
CF Curtis Granderson
LF Andruw Jones
SS Eduardo Nunez
C  Chris Stewart

LHP Andy Pettitte

This afternoon’s game is scheduled to start at 1:07pm ET and can be seen on YES. Enjoy.
