Its also the Rays


Maybe, but the Yankees have the Twins, which is technically a smaller market than the Rays (though the Rays have a smaller fanbase). I guess the baseball executives love to ride the Yankees's cock for those TV ratings, so that's why the Yankees get the primetime slot in every single game except for Game 5 (which goes to Rays/Astros).

It would require the perfect match-up of possible ALDS games to prevent the Yankees from getting the primetime slot in more than one game in a single series. Here's a hypothetical scenario of 2 different ALDS series:

Royals/Yankees
Astros/Red Sox

Would the Yankees even be favored to get a primetime slot that case as they're bogged down by the small market Royals while the Astros and Red Sox are both large markets.
