Today is the 100th game of the season. The Yankees will have at least 57 wins at the century mark this year, hopefully 58, after having 52 wins after 100 games last year and 53 wins the year before. In 2012, the last time the Yankees went to the postseason, they were 60-40 after 100 games. Of course, the AL East is weaker now than it was back in 2012.
Anyway, Masahiro Tanaka is on the mound tonight with yet another extra day of rest. He hasn’t started on normal rest since April. April! That was his last start before landing on the DL.
