Over the next 11 games, the Yankees will play the Royals, Tigers and Mariners. All of them sit below the .500 mark. If the Yankees want to create some distance between their AL East rivals, this would be the time to do it.
Kansas City Royals (W-L, 47-67): 8/12-8/15 [4-Game Series]
Detroit Tigers (W-L, 55-59): 8/16-8/19 [4-Game Series]
Seattle Mariners (W-L, 44-71): 8/20-8/22 [3-Game Series]

For last year’s Yankees, these next 11 games would have represented an 11 game winning streak. I’ll be amazed if this year’s crew wins 7 of the games.
