If the Yankees blow that division lead, they would trigger a lot of bad records according to ESPN.

Just blowing the lead would be the worst ever in team history (previous is 5-6 games) and worst in Wild Card era (1978 was pre-WC era).

Blowing it and then failing to make the playoffs would top last year's Red Sox (9 games) for any team (Braves hold the NL record at 8.5) and the 2007 Mets for division leaders (7 games).
