THE 2023 NEW YORK YANKEES ARE ELIMINATED FROM POSTSEASON CONTENTION
The Seattle Mariners need to win 2 games to eliminate the Yankees from the postseason, reaching 86 wins that the Yankees cannot. The Astros need to win one more game to get to 86 wins, which the Yankees can also no longer achieve, eliminating them. Since they are both playing one another, in 2 games, one of these results has to happen, meaning no matter what, the Yankees are eliminated from the playoffs.
