Baseball returns from its week off tonight, thank goodness, and the Yankees kick off their unofficial second half with a three-game series against the Mariners at Yankee Stadium. New York gets to send their top two starters to the mound in the first and second games of the series before turning to CC Sabathia to close things out on Sunday.
The Yankees, as you know, currently sit atop the AL East by 3.5 games and have won seven of their last ten. Seattle, on the other hand, finds themselves in fourth place in the AL West, 7.
