As of late May, the Yankees are leading the AL East by 6.5 games over the second-place Tampa Bay Rays. Competitors like the Red Sox and Orioles, initially seen as contenders, have disappointed with subpar performances. The Orioles face a projected total of only 73 wins, while the Red Sox might make trades to strengthen their team. The upcoming June schedule includes games against the Orioles, Red Sox, and Blue Jays, making it critical for the Yankees to maintain their performance amid challenges from these rivals.
Before the calendar flips to June, the Orioles are in need of a miracle that would make Bucky Dent look like a betting favorite.
The Red Sox are in a slightly better position, and should they choose to deploy prospect capital, could be the team that makes the biggest splash.
