Do the Yankees have momentum? Predict their record the rest of the way.

[Bellhorn04]

They have 37 games left.

 

They've won 10 in a row.

 

They're 27-9 since the ASB.

 

But do they have momentum?

[moonslav59]

Regress to the norm (pre- 10 game streak), which is .548, or 20 wins.

 

(I put 19.)

[Bellhorn04]

I'm going with 25-12.

Yankee Opponents:

7 TOR

6 BAL

4 OAK

3 TBR

3 BOS

3 NYM

3 LAA

3 TEX

3 CLE

1 ATL

1 MIN

 

Although OAK and LAA are not the best teams in MLB, they play them on the road after this game with ATL on the road.

 

If they go 4-4 in these next 8 games, things might be very interesting.

 

Remember, don't count the Sox out if they are down 1-2 with 9 to play.

 

Last 9:

 

NYY: 3 @ BOS, 3 @ TOR, 3 v TBR

 

BOS: 3 v NYY, 3 @ BAL, 3 @ WSH

Sounds about right.

Since this thread was started, the Yankees have gone 5-7.

[Bellhorn04]

Looks like I'm taking the bronze medal here.

This thread was sort of meant to be an experiment.

 

I'd say the results are in. Tom is right, Kimmi is right, Bellhorn is wrong.

I'm in the running for the Gold!

New poll:

 

Do the Jays have momentum?

 

They have 20 games remaining. I predict 13-7 for them.

[moonslav59]

Regress to the norm (pre- 10 game streak), which is .548, or 20 wins.

 

(I put 19.)

 

My projection of 19-18 might be closest but still over the win total!!!!

 

LOL!

 

 

[moonslav59]

Out of those 37 games, the yanks are now 10-15 with 12 to go.
