The Angels had a much needed day off while the Yankees won and Red Sox and Indians lost. With the Boston and Cleveland losses there still is a glimmer of hope that the Angels will open at home. For the Angels to get home field advantage in the first round they would have to a) Sweep Oakland, and b) have either Boston or Cleveland go winless in their last 3 games. Odds of that happening are roughly 32:1.
As of right now, here are the playoff matchups
Angels (3) @ Red Sox (1)
Yankees (4) @ Indians (2)
