The Yankees have a chance to do something today they have done only once this season: Win a series. In fact, they’ve yet to win a series at home. Granted, this is only the third home series and fifth series overall, but still. Winning only one of the first four series and dropping series to the Orioles at Tigers at home was a big letdown. Adding a home series loss to the White Sox on top of that? Yikes.
This afternoon the Yankees have their best pitcher on the mound as they go for the sweep, and, in theory, the White Sox are a good matchup for Masahiro Tanaka.
