Team Analysis

New York Yankees

Riding a mixed wave of results, the New York Yankees have been standing their ground despite the tough road challenges. The Yankees’ offensive core, consisting of standouts like Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger, have been making solid contributions keeping them afloat. They are finding different ways to scratch runs and keep the opponents guessing. Trent Grisham, albeit on a modest dip in momentum, has been providing decent backup from the middle order.

The Yankees however, can’t rely solely on individual brilliance. They need to spruce up their combined onslaught, especially on the road, where they have been a tad inconsistent. Testing times are when a team’s character shines through, and for the Yankees, there’s no better opportunity to display their resilience.
