New York Yankees

MLB Win Totals: 101

Prediction: Over

The Yanks won 103 games last season as the most injury-riddled squad in the sport. Only three position players notched over 140 games played. Aaron Judge played 102 games, Giancarlo Stanton played 18 games, Didi Gregorius 82 games, Aaron Hicks 59, Gary Sanchez 106, and Miguel Andujar 12. They also got just three regular-season starts out of Luis Severino.

Injuries will inevitably occur in 2020 as well; however, you have to believe New York will have better luck than a year ago. They are the most star-studded team in MLB, and the “World Series or bust” mentality cannot be any more obvious. Gerrit Cole and the rest of the rotation will be under unimaginable pressure to earn the top seed in the AL and to win the most famed organization in baseball its first championship in over a decade.

Pressure or not, there is no way this team wins less than 101 games. The argument can be made that they have the best offense, rotation, and bullpen in the major leagues. Their opponents will be stressed to the max throughout every series, as there will be no let-up from the Yankees on either side of the field. The Bronx Bombers may break the regular-season wins record of 116 currently held by the ’01 Mariners.
