When a team is doing well, it can often be a bit of a measuring stick for just how well they are doing when they play a team that is, at least on the surface, better. The Yankees now sit with the second best record in the AL, half a game back from the ‘Stros (pending their game later tonight), and have arguably the best player in baseball right now in Aaron Judge, who had a monstrous league-leading 7.1 fWAR coming into tonight’s game. The Seattle Mariners beat those Yankees tonight 4-3, winning the game and the series, and finish with a 4-2 record against them in the season series.
