The Yankees have fielded some criticism for not having faced the toughest opposition so far this season, which I would answer with “nya nya best record in the AL.” Regardless, they’ll have their chance at one of the league’s other strong starters as they head to Hell Tropicana Field for a four-game set.
With the sluggish start of the Toronto Blue Jays, it looks for now like the competition atop the AL East comes down to the Tampa Bay Rays and Yankees, and the two teams are preparing to go head-to-head for the first time this season.
