The Yankees really ought to sweep the Athletics this week, as Oakland is sending out a squad of players that may be the worst in the game’s history. If you’re serious about being a playoff team, this is exactly the kind of run you need to go on, but perhaps more importantly New York was able to gain ground on all the teams ahead of them in the division.
