An October win is a win. The Yankees pull out a close one against the Kansas City Royals in game one of the ALDS to give them a 1-0 series lead. Game One had five lead changes, which set a record for most in a baseball postseason game.

It is a new day in the American League. The Astros and Orioles have both been eliminated, and the Yankees have a clear path to the World Series. Before that, they will face the Kansas City Royals. The Royals are hot right now after their impressive sweep against the Baltimore Orioles.
