They have four games left against the Orioles, who are in second place in the division. They have six games against the third-place Rays. The Yankees are three games ahead of the Orioles and four games ahead of the Rays in the loss column.
A lot will be decided in the next week. The Yankees hope to maintain their division lead and clinch it soon. Here are 10 keys that are pivotal if the Yankees want to beat the Orioles and the Rays.
