After one month of the season, offensive struggles have been one of the main storylines to follow, both in terms of the floundering Yankees lineup and the declining run production throughout the league as a whole. Because of these early trends, I decided to take a look at the pitching staffs within the American League East, in part because it might help shed some light on the Yankees’ offensive struggles (the Yankees’ first 15 games, and 19 of the first 25, came against AL East teams), and in part because I believe that, due to last year’s shortened season, pitching depth will play an even more pivotal role this year than it normally does.
