The New York Yankees are the first team in the American League to clinch a playoff berth.
Last season, the Yankees were knocked out of playoff contention with a week to go in the regular season.
\"A lot of things have come together. Probably better health overall. Definitely an added focus for guys that were coming off tough years, and simply put, we\'re better,\" Aaron Boone said. \"We weren\'t a great team last year, and this team has a chance to do something special.\"
The Yankees earned their place in the 2024 playoffs with a 2-1 win over the Seattle Mariners in 10 innings Wednesday night.
New York has the best record in the American League at 89-63 and leads the second-place Baltimore Orioles by five games in the American League East with 10 to play.
