the AL East title: a trophy for who gets to be sad in October

Yankees and Rays meet for four games with the AL East on the line

The Yankees host the Rays for a four-game series at Yankee Stadium with the AL East title effectively on the line, both clubs entering within a game or two of each other in the standings. New York has spent the season atop the division behind its usual expensive roster, while Tampa Bay has again squeezed a contender out of a payroll that would not cover one Yankees infield. The series runs four games, and the winner takes control of the division with roughly three weeks left in the regular season.
