How do the Yankees match up against other potential playoff teams?

Get ready to match the stars! That was the intro to the delightfully cheesy 70's game show Match Game hosted by the plaid clad Gene Rayburn. As we head into the final days of the regular season, the Yankees will be looking to play the match game with other top contenders in the American League. According to Fangraphs, the Yankees have better than a 97% chance at making the playoffs, so their spot in October is a near guarantee. However, they won't be trading barbs with the likes of D-list celebrities such as Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Reilly, and Richard Dawson.
