The Philadelphia Phillies (58-44) visit the New York Yankees (56-46) tonight at Yankee Stadium to kick off an I-95 interleague matchup.
Both teams find themselves out of first place, looking to climb back atop their respective divisions. For the Phillies, the task is easier. They’re just a half game behind the New York Mets in the NL East.
The Yankees, on the other hand, have dug themselves into a hole. They’re 4.5 games out of first, trailing the Toronto Blue Jays after holding possession of first place for most of the first half. The Blue Jays have not only been surging — but they’ve also beaten up on the Yankees quite a bit to pad their division lead.
Aaron Judge has rebounded after a rough month of June in which he hit .253. That brought his batting average down from around .400 to .354. He’s hit a healthy .302 in July, though his last multi-hit game was eight games back.
Still, Judge’s top-line numbers are nothing short of stellar. He’s hitting .345 with 37 home runs and 84 RBIs, positioned for another MVP year.
