The New York Yankees won a big game yesterday, and it is now game on in the AL East as they have shaved the Blue Jays lead in the East to 2.5 games with a big series finale on tap tonight. The Yankees have patched together a rotation all season long that will not have a single pitcher with the qualifying innings for an ERA crown, which is 162. What they do have is average starting pitching, a good hitting lineup, and a bullpen that controls the game from the seventh inning on. The Yankees have thrived in this spot as they are 24-8 in series game three in their last 32, and have done well on the road down the stretch at 13-5 in their last 18. A win here will put them in a good spot, as their last 11 games of the season are all vs. losing teams. Back the Yankees.
