Today on Pinstripe Alley – 9/20/24

They can't all be winners. The Yankees lost the series finale in Seattle on Thursday afternoon after the Orioles beat the Giants in Baltimore. The race for the AL East is far from over because even though the magic number is six, this weekend is the final series before the Yanks and O's face off for three big games in the Bronx on Sept. 24-26. It still feels like the division could come down to this. Stay tuned.

While the O's host the red-hot Tigers, the Yankees head to Oakland for what will likely be their final series at the Coliseum. Matt will provide the preview piece for those three games and also discuss how those surprising Tigers secured a Wild Card spot in the Rivalry Roundup. Sam will analyze the historically explosive AL MVP race, Madison will answer your mailbag questions, and as the Minor League Baseball season draws to a close, Smith will run through a whole host of Baby Bomber players who have made their mark on him this year (some positive, some negative, and some… weird).
