In a few more games the Yankees will win the AL East. They should put all of the bullpen on the IL before the playoffs and give them rest. Bring up minor league pitches and see what they have.

Cole gives up 2 more HRs. Good for 2nd place in MLB.
When 3 is 2 and 2 is 3.... Oh, ho, ho it's magic!
I just realized whether the Yankees win or lose tonight's final game vs. the Red Sox, it's meaningless.
The Yankee Magic Number is 3. If it stays 3 all Yanks have to do is win vs. Blue Jays on Monday, or Tuesday, or Wednesday.
Why? The Magic Number would come down to 1 but that would insure the Blue Jays could only tie the Yanks with their regular season record.
A Yankee win means they win the season series and holds the tie breaker on Toronto. So 3 is really 2.
BUT, if the Yanks lose the Red Sox finale and the next three to the Blue Jays, then their Magic Number goes back to 3 (2 becomes 3).

He obviously is.
BTW, lots of rumors that the Yanks are gonna cut Chapman loose any day.
Rizzo needs to stop and realize he isn't exactly Rickey Henderson lighting up the basepaths.
The NY Yankees win the AL East. Their #2 seed is locked up. Time to rest some players especially the bullpen which I have zero faith in. The offense isn't made for the playoffs but it is what it is. Let's see if Cashman analytics scheme can finally make it to the World Series.
Houston. Home field, huge advantage in the ALCS.
The way this month is going Judge won't hit another HR and the Yanks go undefeated for the rest of the regular season and clinch #1.
No. Yankees have 7 less wins and are 6 back in the loss column. Houston hasn't lifted their foot off the gas yet. They might when they lock it up but they have too big a lead.
Crazy, but there is a remote possibility that Judge can win the Triple Crown this year, and yet still disappoint some folks by not setting the AL HR record.
Take one look at today's Yankees lineup and you'll see what Judge is up against.
Why would anyone pitch to him ?

LOL. Houston. Ever been? Not sure about their "advantage." Home field or otherwise. In fact, everyone there is at a decided disadvantage.
Donaldson and Rizzo have been in low 200s all season. Stanton went from all star to hitting 210 looks like he’s in a coma at the plate. Only guy hitting now other than judge is Torres
A Triple Crown is a much bigger deal then a home run record that will be over 10 home runs short of the MLB record. He needs to get hit. He has HRs and RBIs locked up.
Oh I know. Just saying that with all the focus given to the HR record, many are losing sight of the rarity of the Triple Crown.
As I literally type this, it's all a moot point now. 😀
I thought I saw a Blue Jays fan catch it. I know the face on the fan who was just out of reach was priceless.
Speaking of which, kudos to the Maris kids for attending all their recent games both home and on the road for the record tying (and breaking?) moment.
Yes, classy thing by the Maris and Judge Families. I hope they go back to Yankee Stadium and watch Judge hit #62. It would be nice to have the crowd not only acknowledge and cheer Judge.... but to the memory of Roger Maris as well.
Many Yankee fans didn't want to see Maris surpass Babe Ruth back in 1961 and they let him know it along the way.
