The pitching stats indicate a great team, but 4 starters have an ERA over 3.70, 2 over 4.75.... Sabathia 5.40 in 31.2 IP, Warren 4.78 in 26.1 IP, Eovaldi 3.81 in 28.1 IP, & Pineda 3.73 in 31.1 IP. Heck, even Tanaka had 3.22 in 22.1.

I believe the Yanks SP is virtually tied for 4th in the league, and better than any other A.L. East team in avg IP per start....and I already gave you their ERA/WHIP rankings.
...no, try 6th, cherry picker...and before you try to point to "virtually" in your reply, the Yanx are "virtually closer to 9th than they are to "4th".
I don't expect their SP to become the strong point of the team athough it would be nice and they're going to feel the Tanaka loss as the rotation continues but maybe you should relax (?) a bit and take a closer look at the numbers before you worry us sick over what WILL , or WON'T be sustained.
...hypocritical much?...you think the BP and Gardner and Ellsbury will "sustain"?
They're winning and it isn't hard to understand why.
Their SP has so far, been better than most in the league, they're scoring runs and they have a good bullpen
And their defense has allowed just FOUR unearned runs....maybe you know how many of those unearned runs have resulted in a LOSS.
...again with the cherry picking to paint a good picture... the defense has been anything but stellar and the defense has caused the starters to throw even more pitches than they should have which helps to explain the 5.8 innings per start this year, which in turn puts undue stress on the BP. Stop throwing half baked hand picked stats without telling the whole story...you're trying much too hard.
