Now that the 2022 MLB trade deadline has passed, it's worthwhile to check back in on the updated World Series odds. While the Yankees, Dodgers, and Astros still sit atop the World Series odds boards, given the changes to this year's playoff format, it's truly anyone's game once the 12-team field is officially set. A handful of playoff-contending…

NEW YORK -- Josh Naylor is taking advantage of his second chance. After breaking his right leg and ankle in a collision with Ernie Clement in June at Target Field, Naylor thought his career might be over. It's not -- as his two-run homer Saturday and two-hit game on Friday at Yankee Stadium show. But it has taught him something -- play every game…

Post columnist Steve Serby catches up with Yankees catcher Jose Trevino to take a swing at some Q&A. Q: How close were you to quitting baseball when your late father Joe was ill? A: I was coming home, I was ready to come home. I was gonna try to support my family. It was me and my mom, I talked to my mom and my mom was like, "No, you're not doing…

The Toronto Blue Jays have taken two of the first three games against the New York Yankees and will look to put an exclamation point on this four-game set in the series finale. Toronto hasn't exactly mashed its way to victory but has managed to win twice (as an MLB betting underdog) by keeping the Yankee bats silent, including getting by New York…

TAMPA - If you're like us and already made a prediction as to which 28 players will make the Yankees' Opening Day roster, let's hope you used pencil. New York made a trade on Saturday night, a move sending a member of their bullpen to Texas in exchange for some depth at the catcher position. The Yankees acquired veteran backstop Jose Trevino in the…

With the All-Star break approaching, now's a good time to check back in on World Series futures odds. Given the nature of baseball, it's anyone's game come playoff time. We've seen teams with relatively mediocre odds entering the playoffs win the Commissioner's Trophy in two of the past three seasons (Atlanta in 2021, Washington in'19). Below,…

Aaron Judge was given 360 million reasons to stay in pinstripes, validating owner Hal Steinbrenner's promise to make him a Yankee for life. These were must-moves, to varying degrees, assuring that two key lineup figures returned to a club that won the AL East in 2022. But it doesn't make the Yankees any likelier to improve upon their'22 finish,…

Free baseball yesterday! I guess that's a good thing, we went exactly even after the Reds crushed the Marlins and the Cubs barely squeaked out a win against our underdog pick of the Pirates. We have a fun one today. I'm breaking my own rules of parlays and taking a look at the subway series. There is a trend I'm looking at for the total, as well as…

The Bronx Bombers are at full force and the pitching has been outstanding. Are the New York Yankees now the favorites to win the World Series? The ghosts of Yankees past are hard to miss in the Bronx, from Monument Park in center field to the 27 championship flags flying from the facade. Legendary names such as Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, and Mantle…

As we approach the halfway mark of the 2022 MLB season, the New York Yankees and the Houston Astros have pretty clearly established themselves as the two most dominant teams in the American League. The Yankees are 51-18 and have a 12-game lead in the AL East, while the Astros are 43-25 and own a 10-game cushion in the AL West. Now the powerhouses…

The Orioles are entering the third year of a massive rebuilding project under a new front office regime that's introducing the franchise to analytical data and the importance of international scouting. It's a whole new world that likely will produce the same old results in 2021. The team isn't ready to contend over a full season, especially in the…

Every year, SB Nation holds a simulation of the MLB offseason. Thirty volunteers take the role of GM for their favorite MLB squad, are given directives from their "owner," and set off to build the best possible team. This is my fourth consecutive year as the Yankees' GM, and this year, my crack team in the front office featured Esteban Rivera,…

The New York Yankees continue their weekend series against the Baltimore Orioles MLB odds series, which includes our Yankees-Orioles prediction and pick we have laid out below. New York and their league-leading 65-30 record will face off against Baltimore in the middle game of a three-game series. Last night, Aaron Judge smacked two home runs in a…

The New York Yankees will wrap up their weekend series against the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday afternoon. With that said, it's a good time to check out our MLB odds series, which includes our Yankees-Orioles prediction and pick we have laid out below. New York still sits in first place in the AL East while holding the best record in baseball,…

The top two teams in the American League are the last two standing as we begin the American League Championship Series on Wednesday. It's the exact opposite of what's going on in the National League between the Padres and Phillies, and hopefully, it will put a pause on all those knee-jerk claims that the expanded-postseason format is putting the…

NEW YORK -- The final on-field action of the Yankees' 2022 season occurred at 12:08 a.m. ET on Monday, as Aaron Judge tapped a Ryan Pressly slider back to the pitcher. The Astros' celebration of an American League Championship Series sweep began even before the ball reached first base. Judge ran the play out, then watched for a few seconds as he…

Well, we believe in exit velocity, bat flips, launch angles, stealing home, the hanging curveball, Big League Chew, sausage races, and that unwritten rules of any kind are self-indulgent, overrated crap. We believe Greg Maddux was an actual wizard. We believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment protecting minor league baseball and that…

The next step in the Yankees' quest for their 28th World Series begins Tuesday night. The Yankees will begin their 2022 MLB playoffs after they earned a bye through the wild-card round by winning the AL East to capture the No. 2 seed in the American League. They will play the Guardians in the best-of-five ALDS after Cleveland swept the Rays in the…

The waiting is the hardest part. When Michael King went down in July with a broken right elbow, the New York Yankees were not sure if the reliever would need Tommy John surgery. Two months later, King and the team have their answer. Per SI's Gary Phillips, the 27-year-old said he's out of the woods. "No Tommy John. They said the ligament is intact.…
