The Division comes down to the last game. Cano finally gets a little rest, as he is DH-ing.
Yanks 95-66, tied for 1st in AL East with Rays, but Rays have the tiebreaker.
OPS+ 108, ERA+ 107; 2 games worse than Pythagorean record.
If the Yanks get the division, they get the #1 seed, home field until the WS.
If the Yanks get the wild card, no home field at all.
