The New York Yankees are teetering on the brink of disaster.

The New York Yankees have fought back from adversity all season long, but now, they have dug themselves a hole that may be just a bit too deep.

With their 13-7 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday, the Yankees fell behind 2-0 in their ALDS matchup and now must reel off three straight wins in order to advance to the ALCS.

So, yeah: it's not looking good, and it would be an absolutely humiliating way for New York to bow out against a Blue Jays squad that is slowly but surely becoming the Yanks' biggest rival in the current day.

The Yankees simply cannot go out like this. Not after going 24-8 to close out the regular season and after finally dispatching the Boston Red Sox in a playoff series. Not when the entire team seemed to be clicking over the last month-and-a-half.

Can New York win three straight here? I don't see why not. The Yankees certainly have the talent for it, and it should be noted that the big bats have woken up a little bit, with Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger all having good showings in Game 2.

But are the Yanks actually going to have a game in this series (or in the postseason in general) where both their arms and their bats play well on the same day?

On Sunday, it was Max Fried who let the Bronx Bombers down, getting shelled for seven runs in three innings. Will Warren then came in and gave up six runs.

After pitching so well against the Red Sox, the Yankees have now surrendered 23 runs over the first two games of this ALDS. Not ideal.

Maybe things will be better at home. The Rogers Centre has been nothing short of a house of horrors for New York in 2025. The problem is that even if the Yanks tie this series up back in the Bronx, they will still have to win a Game 5 on the road.

Here's what I will say: I find it hard to believe that Fried will pitch two bad games in one series, and if the Yankees do win these next two games to head back to Canada tied 2-2, Fried could pitch Game 5 on short rest. We're getting ahead of ourselves here, obviously, but it's something to think about.

For now, New York will have to rely on Carlos Rodon — who has arguably been the Yankees' most consistent pitcher all year long — in Game 3 on Tuesday. Win that game, and then you have wonderkid Cam Schlittler on the mound for Game 4.

But if the Yanks lose on Tuesday? Oh man. A sweep at the hands of the Blue Jays would be beyond brutal, and it could (should) result in significant changes during the offseason.
