If the Yankees go 2-1 @ the Red Sox...

...it will mark the first time ever that three teams from one league won 100+ games in a season.

On 6 occurrences there's been three teams win 100+ games in a season (1942, 1977, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2017), but that includes both leagues.

8 teams that won 100+ games failed to qualify for the playoffs---the most recent being the San Francisco Giants in 1993 (103-59). All of these teams finished 2nd in their league/division. That wouldn't happen with today's format. Thank God. That is just brutal to have that great of a season and no playoffs.

Quest for the 100-club.

One more W for the Yankees and history is made.

There it is. History is made. How crazy is it that a team wins 100 games and has to play in the 1-game wildcard? That sucks.
