Yankees’ AL East chase comes down to Game 162: Here’s everything you need to know

NEW YORK — Entering the final day of the regular season, the Yankees ’ path to a division title is clear and simple.

The Yankees need to beat the Orioles in Game 162 and they need the Blue Jays to lose to the Rays.

Any other scenario and the Yankees will finish in second in the division and play in the Wild Card Series as the No. 4 seed in the American League. That best-of-three-series, against either the Red Sox or Tigers, would start on Tuesday.

But if they can finish off this unlikely comeback over these final few weeks and sneak past Toronto to defend their division title, the Yankees would secure a first-round bye, skipping the Wild Card round altogether.

So, what’s the Yankees’ mindset heading into a decisive Game 162?

Win.
