It would’ve been either go to Boston or go to Toronto since the Sox and Jays would’ve been hosting the first round of the tie-breakers. The Yankees wouldn’t have had a favorable selection. If you’re not familiar with this, the tie-breaker goes to the team with the best head-to-head record during the regular season, and they get to choose from these options.

They haven’t beaten the Boston Red Sox in a playoff series since 2003. The Yankees have ONE World Series victory since 2001. “Major League Baseball loves the New York Yankees! They just do! Can’t you tell?!” No, in fact, I can’t tell! And I’d love to stop hearing this from opposing fans because … the party’s over.
