The Yankees have been in first place in the American League East since April 14 .

The Red Sox are trailing the Yankees by 10 games after Friday night ’s loss to the Yankees .

Manager Alex Cora sounded like he was firing himself last week after losing 17 one-run games.

For all the money the Dodgers spent last winter it’s been a disaster when it comes to their pitching investments.

Blake Snell , who they signed for five years , $182 million , made two starts and promptly went on the injured list with shoulder inflammation.

Tanner Scott , on whom they lavished a four-year , $72 million deal to be their closer, has instead been a major liability, with 4.72 ERA in his first 28 appearances.
