The New York Yankees presently have 16 players on their IL.
Every time a player gets off of the IL another player goes down with an injury.
So far this season, at least 25 individual players have been on the IL for New York.

NEW YORK - Even with injuries, the New York Yankees seemed to have gotten their mojo back when it came time to face the Boston Red Sox in a 4-game series. The last time the Yankees faced the Red Sox at Fenway, their pitching staff allowed a massive amount of points to make the scoreboard. The Yankees got their redemption against the Sox with this series.

New York’s last sweep of the Red Sox in Yankee Stadium happened 10 years ago which also happened to be the last time the Yankees won the World Series. With 16 men down, this was no small feat. The Yankees remain number one in the AL East with a record of 72-39.

“The greatest strength of this team is its ability to overcome adversity and just keep pushing forward,” said outfielder Mike Tauchman.

Who’s Your Daddy?

The Yankees beat the Red Sox 7-4 on Sunday night, creating the 4-game sweep. Boston pitcher David Price received chanting from the stadium while he was on the mound. The crowd chanted “Who’s your daddy?” over and over as the Yankees were closing in on their 4th win.

“A sweep is hard against any team, especially a four-game sweep, and especially against these guys," said pitcher J.A. Happ. "Any time you can put a little distance between teams in our division, it’s huge. We played well here."

The Yankees have not had an AL East title in 7 years. Their current record has put them in eyeshot of winning the pennant. New York has +240 odds to win the American League pennant. Their odds of winning the World Series are +400. SportsBettingNewYork.com thinks if they continue to play this well with so many being injured, they could take it all the way when their players heal up.

"We've still got a job to do and a lot of season left to play; a lot of baseball to play in October,” said outfielder Aaron Judge.

The New York Yankees will face the Baltimore Orioles tonight at 7:05 pm in Baltimore. The game will be televised by the YES network. The Yankees are favored to win with odds of -240 while the Orioles have odds of +205. Hopefully, New York can keep up the momentum from their wins against Boston and get themselves even closer to a World Series shot.

CC Sabathia Placed On IL, Yankees To Start J.A. Happ

Christina Monroe — Mon, 29 Jul 2019 15:25:51 +0000

Pitcher CC Sabathia has been dealing with knee inflammation for the past 6 years.
The New York Yankees have +333 odds to win the 2019 World Series.
Their odds to win the AL pennant are +160.

NEW YORK – The New York Yankees have more woes to report with their pitching staff. Left-handed pitcher CC Sabathia has been placed on the Injured List for 10 days after experiencing a knee inflammation. Sabathia is 39 and expected to retire at the end of the season. While he’s been placed on the 10-day list, there’s no exact timeline as to when he will return.

The Yankees 4 game series with the Boston Red Sox came with 4 losses and a ton of runs. Their worst showing was their first game where they lost by 16 runs with the final score being 3-19. In the last 7 games, New York’s bullpen has given up an astonishing 73 runs to their opponents. In the last month, the pitching staff has averaged an overall ERA of 7.09, the second-worst averaged ERA in the MLB.

The Bullpen Needs Help

Veteran Sabathia is just the latest gut punch for the Yankees pitching team. In the last 8 innings he’s pitched, he’s given up 6 home runs and 11 earned runs. These innings took place between two games where he was the starting pitcher. He has no been able to pitch for longer than half of a game without needing relief in his last few outings.

“We’ve been the reason why we’ve been losing games,” said Sabathia of his fellow pitchers. However, pitching coach Larry Rothschild believes he is the reason for his players’ poor performance.

“It’s my responsibility to get it right,” said Rothschild.

The New York Yankees are in 1st place in the AL East with a record of 67-38 so far this season. That’s 7 more wins than the Tampa Bay Rays who are in 2nd place. While the Yankees will undoubtedly have a chance at postseason play given their record and the season being halfway over, SportsBettingNewYork.com knows they’ll need a squad of pitchers that can get them there.

The Arizona Diamondbacks will face the New York Yankees on Tuesday, July 30th at 7:05 pm ET. The starting pitcher for New York will be LHP J.A. Happ who has an ERA of 5.23 and an 8-5 record for the season. The game will be broadcast on the YES Network.

Yankees Catcher Austin Romine Turns Pitcher In Red Sox Game

Christina Monroe — Fri, 26 Jul 2019 17:16:27 +0000

Catcher Austin Romine was awarded the “Heart and Hustle” award by the Yankees last season after pitching for the first time.
He became the second player in history to embrace a second position as a pitcher and play in a postseason game, infielder Cliff Pennington of the Toronto Blue Jays was the first.
Romine is the Yankees second-string catcher as their starter is Gary Sanchez.

NEW YORK – The New York Yankees put catcher Austin Romine on the pitcher’s mound during Thursday night’s game against the Boston Red Sox. This action showcases how much the Yankees are in need of a whole new squad of pitchers. Romine began pitching during the eighth inning of the game when the Yankees were down by a whopping 13 runs.

SportsBettingNewYork.com learned this is not the first time that Romine has been utilized as a pitcher. He threw against the Red Sox last year in postseason play. In that game, the score ended 16-1 for the Red Sox. Thursday night’s game had a similar result. In his one inning of pitching, Romine allowed Boston to score three more runs for a game-ending total of 19-3.

The starting pitcher for the game was Masahiro Tanaka. Tanaka who holds an ERA of 4.79 allowed 7 runs to be scored in the first inning alone. He allowed 16 runs to be scored before Romine was put in and allowed 3.

“I am not sure at this time why I wasn’t able to get outs, a lot of disappointment,” said Tanaka. “We have been relying a lot on the relievers. You go into the game wanting to go long and give them a bit of a break and it actually turned the other way around so there is a lot of disappointment.’’

The New York Yankees have a current record of 66-36 for the season. They are number one in the AL East. They will face off against the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park for round two, tonight at 7:10 pm ET. The game can be viewed on the NESN network. For tonight, they will have LHP James Paxton who holds a 4.20 ERA as their starting pitcher. The New York Yankees are the favorite to win with odds of -129 while the Boston Red Sox have odds of +109 for Game 2.

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.
