Realistically speaking, the pitching staff has not been the problem for the Yankees this season. Are they the top unit in the league, as many thought they could be at the start of the season? Absolutely not — between Nestor Cortes’s injury and regression, Luis Severino’s injury and regression, Domingo Germán’s inconsistency, Carlos Rodón’s injury, and Clarke Schmidt’s growing pains, the Yankees rotation has a number of question marks as we head into the second half. Even so, however, the Bombers have boasted a decisively above-average pitching staff that would be much higher esteemed if the offense could actually score runs against teams not named the Oakland A’s.
