The Yankees haven’t had much to complain about so far.
The best record in baseball, an American League MVP favorite, a xx-game lead in the AL East with two months to go. But it also feels like they are two losses away from having little hope to win a championship. Why? The Astros.
The Yankees have been unable to solve Houston. They are now 11-15 against them dating back to 2019, and 2-5 this year. They are seemingly unable to score against them, managing more than four runs in just nine of 26 games over the last four seasons.
