New York Yankees
The New York Yankees have faced difficulty this season stringing together wins, with a flailing offense falling 21st in runs per game and 29th in batting average. This has been compounded by a lack of stealing bases, with teams able to capitalize on runners being left on base. The team's performance is kept afloat solely by its pitching, with the relievers leading the league in bullpen ERA and Clarke Schmidt receiving credit for the second-best option in the rotation, with 14 straight opponents being limited to three or fewer runs. Despite these efforts, the Yankees have an overall record of 93-68, placing them 20th in power ranking and 22nd in offense (averaging 4.30 runs per game). The defense, however, has been admirable, allowing an average of 4.24 points to be scored against them per game.
