The New York Yankees are leaning heavily on their star players as they approach the second half of the season. Aaron Judge continues to shine, boasting an impressive .358 batting average and leading the league with 35 home runs. Cody Bellinger is experiencing a resurgence, currently on a hitting streak that has rekindled hope for the Yankees' offense. Meanwhile, Jazz Chisholm Jr. has returned from injury, contributing significantly to the lineup. However, the depth of the Yankees' offense is a concern, especially with Anthony Volpe struggling to find his form.

Despite leading the American League in home runs, New York ranks mid-pack in runs scored, indicating a crucial reliance on the top of the order. The Yankees need to find more consistent offensive production, particularly with runners in scoring position, or risk falling short in the postseason.
