Justus Sheffield vs. Jameson Taillon, 7:10pm
The Yankees come to town in turmoil. Another late-inning collapse by the previously untouchable Aroldis Chapman pushed them to 42-41 and 4th place in the AL East. They’re 10.5 games behind Boston and 6 back of Tampa. Their offense – a murderer’s row on paper – ranks 20th in fWAR, just ahead of the M’s in 25th. Despite a pitching staff that ranks 3rd by FIP-based WAR, their ERA ranks 11th. They’ve underperformed their base runs and seem like the anti-Mariners in just about every way: bad in the clutch despite immense talent at essentially every position.
