The Yankees have officially clinched a spot in the Post Season winning against the Seattle Mariners 2-1 on September 18, 2024. The New York Yankees are a World Series favorite, they especially showed it in the began of the 2024 season going 8-2 their first ten games. It surprised many fans about how much growth the Yankees have shown this season after going 82-80 in 2023. Yankees grabbing Juan Soto in December of 2023 (Off Season) and Jazz Chisholm in July of 2024, made a big difference to the team helping not only on the bats but in the field to. The Yankees team batting average from the 2023 season was .227, now the team average in the 2024 Regular Season (so far) is .248 which is a big improvement if you ask me. Yankees are also 1st in the AL (American League) East, 1st in the American League, and technically 2nd in the the whole league because Phillies and Dodgers are tied at 91-62, Yankees are currently 89-64. I think the Yankees have competition this Post Season.
