After today’s match up of CC Sabathia vs Big Game James Shields, the Yankees head home for ten games – and I want 8 victories.
Minimum.
If you take a look at the Yankees schedule for the coming home stand, I think its clear that the Bombers need to put up a ton of Ws during this 10 game stretch.
3 games vs Oakland Athletics:
They are 43-55 on the year. They stink.
3 games vs Seatle Mariners:
They are 43-54 on the year. They have some pitching, bit they still stink.
4 games vs Baltimore Orioles:
Their record is 39-56. They are the only AL team that hasn’t notched their 40th victory yet.
The Yankees need to put a beating on these sub .500 clubs and take control of the AL East for the stretch run!
