If you’ve been following the Yankees this season, then I don’t need to tell you they’ve had trouble scoring runs in 2021. They currently rank 21st in MLB in runs per game, which ties them with the Chicago Cubs and leaves them two spots behind the 19th place Washington Nationals – two teams who called it a season in July and whose pitchers bat.
Of course, this came as a surprise to all of us, as they were the best offensive team in baseball over the 2019 and 2020 seasons.
