The Yankees want home-field advantage in the postseason, and the Angels pose the biggest threat to that goal. With 18 games to play, New York holds a five-game lead over the Angels for the top seed in the American League. On Monday evening, the Yankees will host their competition in a makeup game from a rainout on May 3. "We understand what's at stake here," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said on Sunday. "That's an important game tomorrow." Joba Chamberlain will oppose Jered Weaver in the game.
