The Yankees’ division lead and first-round bye are in danger

The New York Yankees keep shooting themselves in the foot. With their Wednesday loss against the Los Angeles Angels, they finished August with a historically bad 10-18 record, and they are 15-24 after the All-Star break.

It’s hard to believe (and stomach) that the Yanks lost almost as many games in a month than they did before the All-Star break: they went 64-28 in the first half, when it looked like they were on top of the world. It’s a tale of two halves of this partial season to date, as in the first 66 games, they went 49-17; in the 65 since then, they are 30-35.
