The New York Yankees are going to the AL Wild Card Game, and have a tough question to answer. Which pitcher should start the game that gives the Yankees the best path to the ALDS?
As of now, it’s looking like the Yankees will hand the ball to one of three pitchers: Luis Severino, Masahiro Tanaka, or J.A. Happ. Each hurler has their respective merits and reasons to start against the likely opponent, the Oakland Athletics, but manager Aaron Boone is at a true crossroads.
Whichever decision he makes affects his team’s playoff future.
