The Yankees played 14 games this October, winning eight and losing six, with nine games decided by one or two runs, showcasing the intense competition.
Hidden in these lopsided series results is an incredible amount of stress-inducing, high-leverage baseball, demonstrating the thrill despite the apparent blowouts.
In the ALDS, the Yankees outscored the Royals 14-13, reflecting the close competition, with only one game in the postseason decided by more than three runs.
The sheer number of close games and high-leverage situations indicates that the postseason battles were far tighter than the series outcomes suggest.
