In all likelihood, the New York Yankees will be the No. 4 seed in the American League when the 2025 playoffs commence, meaning they will kick off their postseason action on Sept. 30. Their opponent? To be determined. It could be the Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox, Cleveland Guardians, Seattle Mariners, or Houston Astros. It's that crowded of a picture.
For weeks, fans have been wondering who the Yankees' No. 3 starter will be in a hypothetical Wild Card series/ALDS. Cam Schlittler or Luis Gil? What if Will Warren impressed in his final few outings? Nothing was guaranteed, but we thought we might've had a clue.
