The month of July is coming to a close with one of the most highly anticipated series perhaps of the entire MLB season. The New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies are among the frontrunners in contention to win a World Series and will clash in a battle for the ages this Monday-Wednesday.
Both teams have been anchored in or near the top of their divisions for a good portion of the season. The Yankees are in the midst of a tight race with the Orioles in the American League East at 62-45. The Phillies are comfortably in the lead of the National League East at 65-40.
