The Yankees are back in the Bronx, and while a shutout loss to the Rangers might sting, this team has plenty to feel good about. After wrapping up a grueling road trip through Boston and Texas with an impressive 7-2 record, the Bombers are ready to defend home turf. Starting tonight, they kick off a four-game series against the Orioles at Yankee Stadium—a chance to build on that momentum and keep the AL East race tight.

On the site today, we’ve got a full slate to get you ready for the action. Sam breaks down the latest Rivalry Roundup, while Jeff previews what to expect from the weekend matchup with Baltimore. Later, Michael and John launch our monthly divisional review series, diving into the AL West and AL Central, respectively. Nick also takes a trip down memory lane, profiling Brandon Claussen—a high-profile prospect from a couple decades ago—and Madison wraps things up with answers to this week’s mailbag.

Now, let’s talk baseball and beyond. First up: who do you think will lead the Yankees’ pitching staff in WAR this year? With arms like Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón setting the pace, it’s a fun debate for any fan. And for the NBA fans out there, here’s a curveball: can you think of any baseball analogues to what the Knicks did last night, building a 50-point lead in the first half of a close-out game against the Hawks? It’s a rare feat that’s got everyone talking—let us know your thoughts in the comments.
