Team Notes

New York Yankees

The Yankees continue to reign in the AL East with a 36-22 record.

The Yankees have climbed to a 93.7% chance to reach the playoffs and a solid 4.4% probability to take the World Series title according to Baseball Reference.

The Yankees currently stand at 14/5 to win the American League and 7/1 to take the World Series.

Toronto Blue Jays

The Blue Jays have relied on youthful sluggers like Guerrero Jr. and Cavan Biggio to boost their rebuild, boasting a record of just 23-36.
