The Yankees are close to clinching a wild-card berth. Winning the one-game playoff is a whole other story.
When the Yankees began their most recent nine-game stretch against the Rangers, Red Sox and Blue Jays, their postseason odds were slim and it looked like the disappointing 2021 season would end with the biggest disappointment of all: no postseason. But after an 8-1 run against those three teams, the Yankees are only close to clinching a wild-card berth and home-field advantage for the one-game playoff. Winning the one-game playoff is a whole other story.

Given the importance of this series, Friday’s win over the Red Sox was easily the Yankees’ best of the season.
The Yankees beat the Red Sox on 8-3 on Friday night, and it was the team’s best win of the season. DJ LeMahieu led off the game with a single in a seven-pitch, and the rest of the offense followed his lead, scoring three runs in the first and adding four more in the third. A 7-0 lead with Gerrit Cole on the mound is about as well as the Yankees can ever be set up in a game and they were able to coast to a win for the first time in a long time. Given the importance of this series and its impact on the standings and postseason, Friday’s game was easily the Yankees’ best win of the season.

The Giants lost to the Broncos 27-13 and have once again started a season 0-1 after an embarrassing performance.
It didn’t feel like football season on Sunday until the Giants lost. A Giants season-opening loss is as “It’s football season” as it gets. The Giants lost to the Broncos 27-13, needing a time-expiring touchdown, the ultimate garbage-time touchdown to avoid scoring in single digits.
Nick Falato of the Big Blue Banter podcast joined me to break down the Giants’ loss to the Broncos and what expectations are going to Washington on a short week.

Giants football is back! I don’t know if that’s necessarily a good thing, but it’s back with the Giants hosting the Broncos.
Giants football is back! I don’t know if that’s necessarily a good thing, but it’s back nonetheless. Relative to the rest of their schedule, the Giants have a comfortable matchup at home against the Broncos, even if the Giants are a home underdog in the season opener.
Ian St. Clair of Mile High Report Radio and Play Colorado joined me to talk about the Broncos and their expectations this season and the Giants being a 3-point underdog at home in Week 1.
