The Astros Reclaim Top Spot .

With a week to go in the season, the Red Sox will ponder a series of hard-hitting questions: How early in the week can they lock up home-field advantage throughout the postseason?

The point is, with the division wrapped up and home-field advantage all but a sure thing, the only thing left for Boston to do is make sure it maintains some level of focus and intensity to carry into the postseason.

That gif-grabbing, meme-making Didi Gregorius slide into home as the Yankees were walking off the Orioles – and clinching their Wild Card spot – is now a viral sensation for different, unfortunate reasons.

Home-field advantage in the one-game Wild Card playoff is still very much in play, and if the Yankees are to hang on to their slim 1/2-game lead over the As in that category, theyre going to need to play well during a tough season-ending road trip through Tampa Bay and Boston.
