The New York Yankees experienced a fluctuating week, managing to win a series against the Guardians but faltering against the Red Sox, where they scored 23 runs yet only secured one win. Despite leading the standings, their dominance is undercut by significant flaws in their performance, particularly in pitching. As the season progresses, it poses critical questions about their competitiveness in the American League and whether they can overcome this rough patch to solidify their status as top contenders.
The Yankees had an up-and-down week, winning their series against the Guardians before dropping two of three to the Red Sox in lackluster fashion.
While the offense was difficult to come by in the Cleveland series, the total opposite happened against Boston: the lineup put up a total of 23 runs but only won a single game because they gave up 27 themselves.
The team is sitting firmly in first place still, but it's by no means a massive lead, and there's a lot of flaws for a team meant to be a top contender.
Where would you place this Yankees squad amongst their AL competitors as we're getting into the first real checkpoint of the season?
