93 Wins

In calculating the Yankees record for the upcoming season, we've used a complex mathematical formula. Okay, not really. We did create a spreadsheet with all the teams running across the columns and up and down the rows. Then we guestimated how well the Yankees would do against each team.

The result is a 93-69 record that may or may not be good enough to make the playoffs. We tended to be conservative in our picks, only using the Orioles as doormat. We gave the Red Sox 2/3 of the games played between the two, and split the 6 games against the Mets.

Here's the complete breakdown:

vs. Bos 6-12
vs. Bal 14-4
vs. Tor 11-7
vs. TB 9-9

vs. Cle 3-4
vs. Det 2-4
vs. KC 7-3
vs. Min 6-4
vs. Chi 5-2

vs. Sea 6-3
vs. LAA 4-6
vs. Oak 4-2
vs. Tex 5-2

vs. NYM 3-3

vs. Hou 2-1
vs. Cin 2-1
vs. Pit 2-1

vs. SD 2-1
