Ben Rice might be a problem moving forward.

Or he's Kevin Maas 2.0

I hope that’s correct.

Well, here we go again.

in their last ten, the Evil Empire has played 6-4 ball

1-1 vs TB

0-2 vs NY Mets

2-1 vs Boston

3-0 vs Philly( Thanks, Austin!)

Among their upticks are improvements from their pitching, and a blazing start from new 3B Jazz Chisholm. They also added Mark Leiter, who has a 34% K, a 3.2 BB rate and a 50.6% GB rate. So he’s striking you out or getting a ground ball, but not walking you. In July he faced 23 batters, K-ed 14, and allowed neither a run nor a hit.

Overall, the Yankees have apparently stabilized themselves, with guys playing better( in todays defeat of the Phillies, DJ Lemahieu drove in all six runs) and solid additions.

Next up for the Yankees are the Jays, while the Baltimores visit Cleveland.

Next meeting twixt NY and B is the penultimate series of the season.

Heres hoping we won’t need it.

Seeya in ten games!

Yanks sweep in Philadelphia a nice bookend to their season opening sweep in Houston.

Should be a fun race.

Odds of Games 157-159 in the Bronx mattering getting bigger every day.

We are at Minnesota for Games 160-162, and the Twins could be in a hot division race themselves.

The final weekend, nuanced game theory scenarios around if you pitch Aces in the final 1-2 days perhaps rendering them unavailable for ALWC Game 1 or Game 2, at which point your season could be over with the wrong results.

The Yankees schedule this month is crazy easy. LAA, Det, Colorado, Wash.

They also play games against Texas and St Louis and have a tough series vs Cle.

Overall, they have a pretty easy month in terms of winning% of the other team.

Orioles will have work to do.

Yankees update august 16 72-50 T-1

The Yankees went 5-5

2-1 vs Toronto

1-2 vs Anaheim

2-1 vs Texas

0-1 vs White sox

 

They are in the middle of an easy patch, including two more white sox games(spoiler alert: they won them both)

3 vs Detroit, 3 vs Cleveland 3 vs Colorado and 3 vs the Nats.

they can reasonably be expected to win every series. Luis Gil and Nester Cortes aren’t as solid as earlier in the season but Jazz Chisholm is a fine addition and the team is playing better even though the most recent 10 game stretch doesn’t show it.

The Os still have the tiebreaker but will have to improve if that is going to be meaningful.
