After the Yankees’ loss to the Rays last night, they discovered that they had plummeted not only to the bottom of the East but had fallen to the last place in all of the American League. There are two reasons; one is that they do not have dependable pitching. If you are a starter and your name isn’t Gerrit Cole, you have not performed to your abilities.
On paper, the New York Yankees have a stellar starting pitcher staff. Cole, Corey Kluber, Jameson Taillon, Domingo German, and Jordan Montgomery, the Yankees’ second-best pitcher to date, and even he in his two starts have been good in one and bad in the other.
