Looking at the Yankees
New York improved to 69-55 with Sunday’s win, giving them the second-best record in the American League behind the Tampa Bay Rays, who lead them by 5.5 games.
The Yankees’ biggest issue remains their offense. Entering the series finale against Toronto, New York had scored just two runs over a three-game span and ranked near the bottom of the league in several major offensive categories.
They’re 27th in batting average, while their .308 OBP ranks 28th, their .408 slugging percentage ranks 27th and their .717 OPS ranks 27th. The only major offensive category in which they’ve ranked near the top is home runs, as their 170 rank second in MLB.
