Yankees set to take on Athletics

After a rough season so far, the New York Yankees will be looking to turn their luck around in their upcoming games. They will look for a better second half of the season as they start with the Oakland Athletics who seem prone to trade away key players, but actually have a better record coming into the game. Interesting to watch will be how slugger Richie Sexson performs after being signed last week by the Yankees. He has posted impressive statistics against left handed pitchers. This series will be a very important series for the Yankees if they hope to get back on track and make the postseason.
