The New York Yankees are experiencing one of their worst offensive slumps in years, having been shut out in three consecutive games for the first time in nearly a decade. In their latest loss to the Los Angeles Angels, the Yankees not only extended their losing streak to five games but also tied a franchise record for three straight shutouts. Their offense has been stagnant, scoring only five runs in the last six games. Aaron Judge, despite being the leading hitter in the league, has faltered significantly, batting just .125 with 15 strikeouts over the past week. This slump has coincided with a broader team malaise, as several key players are also underperforming, including Cody Bellinger and Anthony Volpe.

Despite the struggles at the plate, the Yankees' pitching staff has been a bright spot, boasting a 1.48 ERA over the same stretch. However, their postseason odds have dipped slightly from 98.9% to 95.7%, indicating that while the team is in a rut, they still have a solid chance at making the playoffs. Manager Aaron Boone remains optimistic, stating that they need to focus on quality at-bats to break free from this slump. The Yankees' veterans held a players-only meeting to address their current struggles, highlighting the need to return to their core playing style.
