Not A Certainty

Yankee fans are talking October, like they usually do, and since 1995 they've missed the post-season just once (2008).
This year the Yanks share the best record in baseball with the Rays at 72-46. So even if the Rays win the East, the Yanks will still get the wildcard, right.
Well, not necessarily.
Boston is still lurking, just 5 1/2 games out. Even though they lost Youkilis for the season, they'll get Pedroia back. This team doesn't know the meaning of quit.
The past two games, the Yankees have scored just one run and collected eight hits total in those games against the Royals and Tigers.
The Yankees are 6-9 in their last 15 and while it's not time to panic, it serve as a reminder to New York to turn off their cruise control. Boston isn't going anywhere and neither are the Rays. So, which of the three isn't going to play October baseball?
