The New York Yankees ended the 2020 season in heart-breaking fashion, but that didn’t stop at least one set of projections from putting the Bronx Bombers back on top.
On Tuesday, Baseball Prospectus released its 2021 PECOTA standings projections, and the Yankees look good. According to the projections, the Yankees have an 81.1% chance of winning the division and are expected to win about 97 games, which would be the best in the American League.
They’re projected to be the second-winningest team in baseball after the reigning champion Los Angeles Dodgers.
