The way that the New York Yankees have played since the All-Star Break, it’s hard to believe they’re in third place in the AL East. The team is 19-8 since the All-Star Break and making a run not only for a Wild Card berth, but is making noise in the divisional race too.
And it’s not like the Yankees pushed some magic button and suddenly began playing well. Sure, trading for Joey Gallo and Anthony Rizzo was nice, but the rest of the team is stepping up too.
As a result, the New York Yankees continue to succeed because regardless of who’s on the field, they are winning games they should be winning.
