This is fairly subjective, but just doing a quick rundown of the their schedule, I'll try to determine how the Yanks do against 'good' pitchers (this is by W/L record, not by who started). First the losses.

7/24 Millwood

8/1 Burnett
8/2 Lilly

8/14 Lackey
8/19 Beckett
8/21 D. Wells
8/23 Felix Hernandez
8/27 Saunders
8/30 N. Robertson
8/31 Bonderman

A .597 win % is good to see, but they play a lot of weak teams this month. I don't want them to get used to that. The last good pitcher they beat was in August. Look for more in-depth analysis coming soon...

The S.I. Yanks lost 9-2 to force a deciding game 3 in the NY-Penn League finals.
