Yankees Considered Close Favorites To Win World Series

Christina Monroe — Tue, 01 Oct 2019 21:13:45 +0000

The American League Division Series (ALDS) begins on October 4 for the New York Yankees and the Minnesota Twins.
The Twins were knocked out of postseason runs when they’ve played the Yankees on four separate occasions; in 2003, 2004, 2009, and 2010.
Minnesota has odds of +1300 to win the World Series, a huge difference from the odds awarded to New York.

NEW YORK – The New York Yankees (103-59) could take home a World Series title if bookies have any say over the matter. New York is currently holding odds of +350 to win the Championship. Coming in first are the Houston Astros (107-55) with odds of +190 and then the Los Angeles Dodgers (106-56) with +250 at NY sportsbooks. The Yankees have not won a World Series Championship since 2009.

New York clinched their division title in the AL East, even with a season where 30 separate players were on the Injured List at some point during the year. On their trek to the Series, they first must play the Minnesota Twins (101-61) of the AL Central division to seal a chance at the American League Pennant. The Yankees and the Twins will participate in a round of five games. Whichever team wins three games first will move on to the AL Pennant championship.

Back in July, the Yankees and the Twins had a battle that went into extra innings, ultimately handing New York the win 14-12. However, it shows what a formidable opponent Minnesota is for the dynasty. Aaron Boone, the head coach for the Yankees has said of the July meetings that the Twins are a beast of a team. The Twins refer to the Yankees as a dragon they have to slay. The series between the two looks to be one of beasts and dragons. And you thought the “Game of Thrones” was over.

“We’ve got to play our best baseball. Period. End of story,’’ said Brian Cashman, Yankees’ General Manager. “Do everything in our power to find a way to get past them. We’re really excited for the opportunity. Our first step in this process was to win the division so we didn’t have to deal with the wild-card issue. That’s Phase I. Phase II is to try to find a way to get through this series. They happen to be our opponent and they’ll be a handful.’’

With the New York Yankees having such favorable odds when it comes to the World Series compared to the Minnesota Twins, they could very well be the first team to win three out of five and advance to the Pennant series. Game One starts on October 4 in the Bronx. Based on their July meetings, it’s sure to be a slugfest you won’t want to miss.

Can The Yankees Sweep The Orioles In Game Three?

Christina Monroe — Wed, 07 Aug 2019 17:43:12 +0000

The New York Yankees are in first place in the AL East with a 9-win advantage over the Tampa Bay Rays.
While the team remains in first place in their division, they have had over 24 of their players on the Injured List this season.
New York is favored third to win the World Series with +425 odds, their current record is 74-39.

NEW YORK – The New York Yankees have hit their stride with a 7-game winning streak but can they extend it to 8 and sweep the Baltimore Orioles? The Yankees will face the Orioles for the last game in their 3-game series and are looking to land their second sweep in a row.

New York beat Baltimore 9-4 last night in Camden Yards. The Orioles have not had the best season thus far with a record of 38-75 and would like to avoid another loss tonight. Left-hander James Paxton will be starting on the mound for the Yankees. Paxton has not been displaying his best performances as of late, winning 1 of his last 6 games. However, that 1 win was in his last game where the Yankees beat Boston 4-2. His overall ERA is 4.61 with a 6-6- record. His pitching stats when it comes to playing Baltimore are 3-1 with a 3.86 ERA.

Starting for Baltimore is another lefty, John Means, with an ERA of 3.12 and a record of 8-6. Means is coming fresh off of the IL, sitting out his last two games with bicep soreness. He won 1 out of his last 3 games before being benched with an injury. This season, Means has had a total of 78 strikeouts. Paxton has had 123 strikeouts.

SportsBettingNewYork.com thinks the Yankees have certainly stepped up to the plate when it comes to their batting performances. Six separate players have managed home runs since their winning streak began. Despite multiple athletes on the IL, New York is proving their head coach Aaron Boone correct when he said they are savages.

Baltimore will host the Yankees in the last game of the series tonight at 7:05 pm ET. The game will be televised by both MASN and the YES networks. New York is favored to keep their streak alive with odds of -260. The Orioles have been given odds of +220 to walk away with at least one win.

How Yankees, Mets Trade Rumors Affect 2019 World Series Odds

Hasan Nabulsi — Thu, 04 Jul 2019 08:55:22 +0000

The New York Yankees are currently set at (+320) betting odds to win the 2019 World Series by online sportsbooks.
The Mets and Yankees have only made 15 deals since 1966.

New York – MLB trade rumors are in full swing as the trade deadline is set at the end of this month. One of the most peculiar of these rumors is the potential for the New York Mets to trade Zach Wheeler to their cross-town rivals in the New York Yankees.

According to a report from Andy Martino of SNY, the Mets would be open to the trade.

“If the Yanks make the strongest offer for Zach Wheeler, the Mets would have no issues sending him across town, according to major league sources… word around Citi Field is that Brodie Van Wagenen has the go-ahead to accept the best offer. If it comes from the Yankees, so be it.”

The Yankees are currently sitting at the top of the AL East with a record of 54-29. They are also currently favored to win the 2019 World Series at (+320) betting odds by popular online bookmaker Bovada. They trail only the Los Angeles Dodgers in terms of those odds.

Any trade from the Mets to the Yankees may anger some Mets fans, especially when the Yankees already seem to have the ball rolling this season. The two teams have only made 15 deals since 1966 with the last big-league trade coming in 2004.

But the chances for the Yankees to go after Wheeler are certainly there. On Tuesday, Wheeler gave up only two runs in 6 1/3 innings and struck out eight in a 4-2 victory over the Yankees. Aaron Boone, Manager of the Yankees, spoke well of Wheeler’s performance after the game.

“He’s capable of that,” Boone said. “I thought his splitter-change was really effective. Obviously, the fastball. Didn’t seem like he threw that cutter-slider as much, but he was good. He was filling up the strike zone and we know he’s capable of that when he’s on his game.”

To add to the Yankee's appeal in Wheeler, he is only on a $5.975 million salary that they could surely afford. But what would they be getting for the price?

Wheeler is currently running an ERA of 4.42, but that number is a bit misleading due to the fact that the Mets defense as a whole has been a bit lackluster this season. Other stats give a bit of a clearer picture into his individual output.

Wheeler has struck out 9.71 batters per nine while at the same time walking 2.53. This gives him a relatively impressive K/BB ratio of 3.71.

SportsBettingNewYork thinks the Yankees may also be more inclined to look for pitching help after a dreadful pitching performance in their London series against the Boston Red Sox. While they came out of London victorious they also gave up a combined 21 runs in two games.

Despite the bad performance, the Yankees have still been attracting bets at online sportsbooks to win the 2019 World Series. Acquiring Zach Wheeler from the Mets, in theory, should only help perpetuate the Yankees success this season and keep their odds high.
