The New York Yankees have won seven of their last 10 games as they try to shake the Baltimore Orioles for an AL East title. Though the Wild Card would seem to be a safety net, as it has been for the AL East runner-up for several seasons, MLB's new postseason format makes it important to win a division.

Pettitte hasn't allowed a run [...]

Would NY Yankees’ Collapse Finally Make New »
