The Yankees are expected to select the Division Series with three days off once their opponent is determined. New York clinched the AL East Title and home field advantage throughout the postseason on Sunday, giving them the option of picking which ALDS schedule they'd prefer. "You'd weigh a lot of things," manager Joe Girardi told the Hartford Courant. "The extra day off, you'd only need three starters, your bullpen would be fresher, maybe you could carry one less pitcher. And your opponent would enter into it." With the extra day off, the Yankees wouldn't have to use Joba Chamberlain in the starting rotation -- instead likely opting for a rotation of CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Andy Pettitte.
