Yankees 8-2 in Last 10 Starts

The New York Yankees are pushing forward recently. They are 8-2 in their last 10 games. They should be able to continue to win, since they are playing teams that don’t have their talent. Their next three games are against the Pittsburgh Pirates, then they will play a four-game cross-town series against the Mets.

The Yankees have four players with batting averages over .300.  Alex Rodriguez leads the team at .332, Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui both come in at .323 and Jorge Posada is batting .311.

The Yankees are third in the American League East, 4.5 games behind the first-place Boston Red Sox and 3.5 games behind th second-place Tampa Bay Rays. The Red Sox and the Rays are two of the best teams in baseball, so the Yankees have their work cut out for them as they try to catch up.
