The Yankees are the second-best team in baseball. They are stocked with young talent, trusty vets, and on pace for many, many wins, despite not playing their best lately. With all the success the Yanks have had this season, they are 6-6 against the MLB-worst Orioles.
Lacking a winning record against a team doing so poorly in the standings is a massive disappointment during this crucial run to the Postseason.
With the Yankees now missing Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Didi Gregorius and Aroldis Chapman, they’re in a difficult position. This month, they’ve undoubtedly had their share of struggles.
