To what extent will the New York Yankees collapse?

In their last seven attempts, they have failed to win a series. They are now three games behind the Baltimore Orioles in the American League East, having dropped from first place.

Furthermore, it only took less than a month for it to drop from No. 1 to No. 5 in the USA TODAY Sports power rankings.

The most recent humiliation occurred on Sunday night when they suffered a series loss for the second time in a row against the Boston Red Sox. This puts them just 4 ½ games ahead of their struggling rivals, or almost as close to first place as they are to third. Following the exuberance of rookie Ben Rice’s three-home run performance, the Yankees were unable to win consecutive games for the second time since June 12.

With one week left until the All-Star break, things can only get better.
