Yankees finally get something going in the 6th inning for the Wild Card. But, can either of these teams get past TB?

We'll see how many Robles gives up. No idea why Boston traded with the Twins for him.
Love it when the Yankees lose! Another year without a championship. Aaron Boone just can’t get it done as the manager and these players don’t play up to it when they need to.
Gerrit Cole needed some spider-tac last night. He hasn't been the same pitcher since MLB started focusing on that.
Dodgers-St. Louis tonight. LA had 106 wins and they are in the wild card. Wow.
Cards have been hot, but they're not winning tonight in LA.

Yankees' playoff record in the last 20 years:
vs. Minnesota Twins: 16-2 (.889)
vs. every other team: 43-58 (.426)

Spider tac or not that arm has some mileage on it and isn't going to get any better with time. 31 is about the time I'd expect performance to start slipping.
I still think this postseason format sucks. Get rid of game 163 possibilities and use tiebreaker. Get rid of the play in games. Go back to 4 teams. Best record hosts worst record, 2nd best hosts 3rd best.
Give me ace vs ace, 2 vs 2, etc. All series 7 games with a single travel day.
