last time yankees made it to the playoffs
List of New York Yankees seasons Following an 11-year playoff drought, the club appeared in the playoffs five times in a six-year period and won back-to-back World Series championships in 1977 and 1978. The Yankees won the World Series again in 1996, and in 1998 began a run of three consecutive Series titles. From 1995 to 2007, the Yankees made the playoffs each year; their 13-season postseason streak was the second-longest in MLB history.[9] After missing the playoffs in 2008, they won another World Series in 2009 and reached the postseason each year from 2010 to 2012. In the most recent MLB season, 2017, New York had a 91â€“71 record and reached the American League Championship Series before losing to the Houston Astros. Overall, the Yankees' .569 regular season winning percentage is the highest of any MLB team, and they have the eighth-most regular season wins, behind seven clubs founded in the 19th century.[10]
Yankees–Red Sox rivalry The Red Sox won the division by two games, forcing the Yankees into the Wild Card. This marked the first time both the Red Sox and Yankees made the playoffs since 2009.[341][187] However, both teams lost in the postseason to the eventual World Series champion Houston Astros; the Red Sox in the ALDS in 4 games and the Yankees in the ALCS in 7 games.
