I think the Yankees will overtake the A's and win the AL wild card. They have playoff experience that Oakland doesn't have, and they also have a lineup that can make any pitcher nervous.
So now the Yankees' playoff experience will lead them to a better regular season record than the A's? That's really convoluted reasoning.
Also, I thought the A's were this awesome regular season team that always choked in the playoffs. With their amazing winning-in-the-regular-season experience, I think they have to be considered the favorites in this regular-season-game-winning competition.
FACT: The Yankees haven't won a Wild Card in SEVEN YEARS!
You have to give the A's the advantage in the Wild Card race experience department.
