According to predictions by Baseball Reference, the New York Yankees are facing a grim outlook for their 2024 playoff season. The team is expected to have only a 2.7 percent chance of making the postseason and winning just 71.6 games, which places them below other teams in the league.
However, these projections are sharply contrasted with those made by Fangraphs, who predict that the Yankees will win 88 games and place fourth overall in baseball. Additionally, BetRivers Sportsbook forecasts New York to win 91.5 games and gives them the third-highest odds to win the most games in baseball.
Despite their poor performance in the 2023 season, the Yankees are expected to see improvement with Juan Soto joining their roster and a potential full season from Aaron Judge. However, some experts believe that Baseball Reference’s Simple Rating System used for these projections may be limited, especially considering recent changes to the roster during offseason.
