?Am I Concerned About the Yankees? You Bet I Am!?- MLB Pundit Left Bewildered by Pinstripes Recent Slump; Confident About Astros American League Domination

After dominating the entire first half of the ongoing MLB season, the New York Yankees are having a tough time in the second half. The Aaron Boone-led team has lost 20 games after the All-Star break while winning only ten games.

The Houston Astros, on the other hand, have been playing even better in the second half of the 2022 MLB season. Knowing that the Astros are one of the biggest rivals of the Yankees, the Pinstripes fans would not want the Dusty Baker-led team to win yet another American League pennant.

Talking about the same, a die-hard New York Yankees fan and ace MLB pundit, Rich Eisen, reacted to the Yankees? chances of the playoffs and the World Series this season. Eisen also discussed why the Yankees are struggling after the All-Star break.

Can the New York Yankees dethrone the Astros from the top of the American League?

Earlier on Saturday, Rich Eisen shared a YouTube video. In the video, he discussed the Yankees and Astros? chances of winning the American League. First, Eisen bashed the Yankees? ace, Gerrit Cole, for his continuous poor outings from the mound, and then he also pointed out the reasons the Yankees have become a struggling side.

?Am I concerned about the Yankees? You bet I am! Because Gerrit Cole can’t come up with that two-hit shutout we need, where the one run they scratch is enough for him. He has not done that,? Rich Eisen said.

?I think the American League is done. Because in the American League, being the first in the league for the Yankees is over… Is Luis Severino coming back and throwing like he did in the first eight weeks of the season? Is Clay Holmes coming back off the injured list…??

The Astros are favorites to play in the World Series

As things stand, the Astros have a better record than the New York Yankees. And given the form of both teams, the Astros look stronger than the Pinstripes.?

While talking about the strength of both sides, Eisen said the Astros are the favorites to play the World Series.
