The Yankees are in somewhat of a free fall, losing a comfortable lead in the American League East along the way. They have been falling in-and-out of a tie with the Orioles for first place this week.

New York has the oldest roster in the Major Leagues, while Baltimore features a number of young emerging stars.

Of course, the problems go beyond age. David Phelps hasn't performed as of late, Joba Chamberlain has pitched poorly since his return and the combination of Nick Swisher and Curtis Granderson are slumping.
