A formality for the Yankees and Astros...
Perhaps the Rays losing the tiebreaker game to Seattle was a blessing as they avoided getting housed by the Yankees like the Mariners did. New York will play the Angels and Houston will face Minnesota in the ALDS round. Also some wild action in the St. Louis-Atlanta game where it was 2-2 going into the 8th and ended up 9-6 with Austin Riley's second homer of the game, a 3-run shot, walking it off.
Minor league playoff update: The Bulls lost the Gerrit Cole Game 4 but rebounded to win the decisive Game 5 7-0 behind 7 shutout innings from Chris Mazza. Kameron Misner, who had a great regular season, was named series MVP with a .308-4-7 performance in the 5 games. Durham will face Indianapolis for the Governors' Cup.
