Yankees keep momentum; keep pace.

New York Yankees: 24-25

The Yankees continue to erase any sign of their early May woes.

Their starting pitching has undergone a somewhat astonishing resurgence, backing support by a consistently steady offence. With aide from the best bullpen in baseball, the Yankees will hope to prey on division foes to edge their way into the picture.

The Yankees will also look to fare a bit better against their division foes this week, after falling from third place with losses to the Blue Jays and Rays. Their normally strong bullpen saw some surprising issues this week, which the Yankees will hope are not repeated. They will look to erase Toronto’s thin hold on third this week at Rogers Centre.

Final Takeaway:

The Yankees have made significant ground over the last two weeks, but they will need to hit a hot streak if they want to play for any more than third in the AL East.
