The Yankees’s offense is firing on all cylinders in the postseason. Before Tuesday’s games, they had scored more runs in the playoffs than the Dodgers, Marlins, Braves, Blue Jays, Brewers, Twins, Cubs and Reds combined, with 31.
Much of it has to do with health. The Yankees were, at different points in the regular season, without DJ LeMahieu, Gleyber Torres, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton because of injuries. They also had to deal with some unexpected under-performers, such as Brett Gardner, Miguel Andújar and Gary Sánchez.
