So overall... how are we feeling about the Yankees entering the playoffs?
Gotta believe in Schlittler, Fried and Cole in the Wild Card. They've been too good not to. The thought of not going Cam in Game 1 still seems dumb to me, but the Yankees should win it regardless, ESPECIALLY if Boston doesn't have Contreras.
After that... we haven't won a playoff series as the road team in a LONG time, but truthfully this Rays team really doesn't scare me THAT much. Playing at the Trop is the scariest part for me (Yanks have never played a playoff series there), but if we can split in Tampa, I'll feel pretty good coming home.
This AL is as weak as it's ever going to be. Judge or no Judge, the path to a World Series appearance is there. I just hope they don't embarrass themselves in the process with the way they handle the Judge injury, because that has potential to be EASILY the biggest story of October if they do.
