The Yankees are flying off for the West Coast on a high note.

The Yankees handled business on Sunday, securing the series win in comfortable fashion powered by homers from Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres, with Giancarlo Stanton driving in some runs as well and Carlos Rodón tossing another solid outing. Altogether they took three of four from Boston and timed it with some Orioles losses to grow their division lead to three, looking as comfortable in first place as they have for months. That needle won't move today with both the Yanks and O's off, so take it easy and get ready for the race to reach a break-neck pace in the final weeks.

While there isn't a game to be played, we've still got plenty to keep you occupied today. Peter takes the first stab at projecting a postseason roster, and Jake covers the Rivalry Roundup featuring those Orioles dropping another one to the Tigers. John covers a beatdown by the Yanks in today's 1999 Diary, and then Nicks Sarnelli and Power cover a mid-September divisional check-in for the AL Central and West, respectively. Finally, I'll be back to open up the mailbag for another round of your questions.

Today's Matchup:

Questions/Prompts:

1. Who do you think the Yankees will face first in the postseason, assuming they clinch a spot?
