The Yankees are off to a strong start in 2023, taking both of their opening series against NL opponents. While they came out on the right end of a tidy 4-2 victory over the Phillies yesterday, so too did most of their likely playoff rivals, keeping the top end of the American League table busy.
Yes, the Rays are 6-0 and hats off to them for a dominating start to the season, especially from their pitching staff. I would never remark that a team of small, ground-burrowing mammals could take at least one game in a series against the Nationals, although I will wonder aloud how a vole at shortstop would wear his pants.
