The New York Yankees will try and put the finishing touches on the Wild Card race in the American League and also gain ground on the Red Sox in the AL East race on Tuesday. New York has all but clinched the Wild Card and still has hopes of catching Boston in the East as they are two games back. Roger Clemens is expected to get the start on Tuesday for Boston against Tampa Bay. The Yankees are looking to get Clemens one more start before the playoffs and it is expected to come on Tuesday. "Roger is totally different," said Andy Pettitte. "We just need to make sure he's as healthy as he can be going into the playoffs. The good thing is that I don't feel like we're in desperate need, where we need to rush him out there."
