Yankees' Impressive Wins... Against a Garbage Team

Brandon Tierney & Sal Licata

After the Yankees put up a lopsided win against the woeful Chicago White Sox, Marc Malusis questioned the true strength of the team. He argued that while the Yankees' record looks good on paper, their recent string of victories has come against a soft schedule of sub-.500 teams, including the 38-games-under-.500 White Sox. Malusis emphasized that the real test will come in the next twelve games, when the Yankees face off against legitimate contenders like the Houston Astros, Toronto Blue Jays, and Detroit Tigers. He challenged the narrative that the Yankees are a World Series contender based on their recent performance, asserting that their ability to beat good teams is still an open question.
