This is the last home series of the first half for the Yankees and, surprisingly, a battle of first place teams. By winning percentage, these are the best and fifth-best teams in baseball, and I’d hazard that both are surprising, albeit to significantly varying degrees.
The Last Time They Met
The Yankees visited Atlanta for a three-game set back in August of 2015, picking up the sweep by a combined score of 38 to 11; and, no, that’s not a typo. Some notes from the series:
- Didi Gregorius had a hell of a series, going 7-for-12 with a double, a home run, and 8 RBI.
