With 18 games left to play, the Yankees find themselves three games behind the Rays for the second Wild Card spot, looking up at two teams. One of which is the Orioles, who they will play tonight in the second game of a four game set. With each loss, the Yankees playoff chances dwindle – Ivan Nova will look to put one in the win column tonight. Miguel Gonzalez will start for the Birds.
