Despite being without their ace righty Garret Cole, who is still recovering from a shoulder issue, the Yankees are currently in a close battle with the Orioles for the top spot in the AL East. They recently took two out of three games from Tampa Bay and won two straight games against the Twins, with standout performances from Carlos Rodon, Giancarlo Stanton, Marcus Stroman, and Aaron Judge. Right-hander Clarke Schmidt will start the final game in the series against the Twins, with impressive stats so far this season. Despite several key injuries, the Yankees have a strong power ranking of 2 and are ranked 9 in offense, 4 in defense, and currently hold a 93-68 record.
