With games about to resume after the All-Star break, the Yankees find themselves a little bit behind the eight ball in regards to the AL East race. They currently sit 4.5 games back of the Red Sox, which is less than ideal.
There is plenty of baseball left to go this season, and plenty of time to potentially make up that deficit. However, a lot of times in the first half of the season, it seemed like the Red Sox would never lose. While they may not keep up that level of play, it’s clear that they’re a good team that probably isn’t going collapse.
