Outlook: After losing four of their first five games, the Yankees bounced back with five straight wins. They avoided getting swept by Baltimore then swept the Rays. New York has received strong pitching from Michael Pineda and Luis Severino. Both pitchers have 17 strikeouts in their first two starts. Chase Headley and Starlin Castro lead the way in hitting. Headley is hitting .400 while Castro sits at .350. They have combined for 28 hits through two weeks. After finishing up a series with the Cardinals, the Yankees host the White Sox then head to Pittsburgh to square off with the Pirates. (Getty)
