It was very worrying for the New York Yankees when they dropped Game 1 of their AL Wild Card series clash against the Boston Red Sox. Losing Game 1 of the AL Wild Card series was a troubling omen for the Yankees. As Bob Nightengale of USA Today pointed out, the Yankees became the first team in the AL Wild Card series era (since 2022) to drop the first game of the three-game wild card series but still come back to advance to the ALDS. New York can also ride out their best starters, with Max Fried, Carlos Rodon, and Cam Schlittler putting up incredible performances during the Wild Card series. Game 1 of the ALDS between the Yankees and Blue Jays will be on Saturday at 4:08 PM E.T.
