Yankees lefty reliever projected to have a massive second-half breakout
Like clockwork, the New York Yankees have come out and played well so far this season. They hold a 57-45 record, just 2.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays for first place in the American League East. Much of the reason for the team's success this year comes from the dominant pitching staff. The staff has a 3.38 team ERA, which is the best across MLB. The starting staff has done extremely well, but that's not all. The bullpen has also been elite, boasting a 3.06 ERA, which comes second behind the Boston Red Sox's 3.02 bullpen ERA.MORE: Yankees expected to call Blue Jays for All-Star who hit .411 in last year's World Series runYankees lefty reliever projected to have a massive second-half breakoutThe Yankees' closer, David Bednar, has done well to shut the door in the ninth with his 18 saves
