Next 12 games will define the fate of the Yankees season

The “Bronx Bomberos” will face four of the rivals against which they can collide during the postseason.

The New York Yankees They arrive at the last month of the season in position of the first Wild Card of the American League Already only two and a half games of the top of the east division of “Young circuit”

For anyone it is a mystery that Yankees are one of the great favorites, not only to reach the postseason, but, to get to the World Seriesaccording to AM850 BET. However, the “Bronx bombers”They are about to be subject to the most complicated and important section of their current campaign, which has all the possibilities of defining the course of the team in 2025.

Why do we say that this is the most complicated and important section of Yankees? Because during the next four series, twelve games in total, Yankees They will face four teams that also have clear opportunities to reach the playoffs, including two divisional rivals, and, as if that were not enough, they have been four teams against which, New Yorkers have not been successful in 2025.

The Yankees They start a series of three games against Tuesday, September 2 Houston Astros as visitors. The Astroswhich have become the last in the shoe of the Yankees For several years, they have won two of the three games they have had in 2025. The premises have a record of 42 wins and 30 lost playing in Houston, which shows that they have been a great team in the Daikin Park.

After that series, the Yankees They will return to their stadium to face in three games Toronto Blue Jayswith a real opportunity to fight for the top of the east division. It is important to note that, in 2025, the Blue Jays They have seven victories and three losses in ten games against the Yankees, dominating the private series against New York.

After Toronto, the Yankees will receive a Detroit Tigersteam that they have only been able to win on one of three occasions on the current campaign, the latter being the team with the best record of the American League At the moment.

The last three games of such a complicated section could be the most difficult challenge of Yankeessince they will have to travel to Fenway Park to face Boston Red Soxsquad that has defeated them in eight of ten games in 2025. The only two victories of the Yankees facing Red Sox From this year they have been in the Yankee Stadium, so Boston is undefeated against these playing at home.

In general terms, these four teams have a brand of 19 cattle and 6 lost against the Yankees In 2025.

The importance of Yankees They do well in these twelve games lies in the fact that Texas Rangers is just a game and a half of the last Wild Card of the American League and Kansas City Royals It is two and a half of this qualifying position (five and six games, respectively of the Yankees). Bad consecutive series could complicate the classification scenario to the team, while playing well against the four teams would ensure their position and fight for the divisional top in the east.

After those four series, the road becomes much easier for Yankeeswho will close playing with three teams without postseason aspirations: Minnesota Twins (three games), Baltimore Orioles (four games), Chicago White Sox (three games) and will close the year with a series of three games against Baltimore, again.

For the Yankeesthe true challenge of the 2025 season begins with the Astros.
