The Yankees are still trying to take a substantial lead in the American League East, with the Baltimore Orioles close behind. Demolishing the Chicago White Sox 10–2 on Wednesday night was a good start to what they hope to be a hot stretch.

The Yankees have a relatively easy schedule in August and have a great opportunity to provide a cushion between themselves and second place. Led by Juan Soto and Aaron Judge, the Bombers need a bit more efficient with their pitching and consistent performances from their supporting cast. Still, they have all the talent to get the job done leading into the postseason in October.
