He is coming off few rough starts against Tampa Bay and Toronto but I wouldnt count the Yankees out here especially when CC is on the mound.
The Yankees dont have a really tough September, they face series with the Twins in Minny and Blue Jays at home, a hopeless Red sox at Boston and another series with the Jays in Toronto and the A's and Rays at home. The Rays face a really tough schedule but the Orioles are in a pretty good postion, this should be a great game tomorrow night and this Yankees/Orioles series will be big.
