🤷🏻‍♂️ Will Yankees Be Dandy, Or A Historic Dud?

Dominant one moment and struggling the next, New York has taken fans on one wild ride. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: The New York Yankees have had two seasons wrapped in one. It will be fascinating to see if they end up being dandy, or a historic dud ... the 49ers are running out of time to figure out what to do with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo ... and more! What will the New York Yankees do to celebrate, assuming their implosion doesn’t become so complete that a once 15.5-game lead atop the American League East is allowed to wither down to zero? What would a divisional title party look like in the Bronx, in a year when a stunning capitulation came hot on the heels of what teased as a campaign for the ages? Will they bust out some Sinatra and hope the fans are still engaged enough to croon along? Don’t expect much vocal assistance from the players, the cynics might sneer. After all, it’s hard to sing when you’ve spent the last half of the year choking. The tale of two seasons up by E 161st St. is many things; a peculiarity, a farce, a lesson in the danger of lost confidence, a delight to rivals from Queens to Tampa to Toronto to Houston, a collapse of record-shaking proportions and a reason to wish Yogi Berra was still here to conjure a wonderfully paradoxical comment that summed it all up. Instead, it was left to modern hero Aaron Judge to encapsulate the gloom, just a few days back. "It’s tough to have a little bit of swagger when you keep losing games and dropping series and not playing your brand of baseball," Judge told reporters. But what if a double-headed story suddenly conjures an unexpected third twist? Just as the finishing touches were being put to the Yankee obituary, a glimmer of hope has emerged in the shape of four straight wins. It's a mini-run that might not yet be convincing enough for anyone to believe a return to the early-season magic beckons, but it at least leans toward some welcome stability.

[BET OF THE DAY] [BET OF THE DAY] Odds provided by [FOX Bet]( New York Yankees to win World Series: +450 FOX Sports MLB Betting Analyst Edward Egros: Yankees fans have learned the hard way that Aaron Judge can't carry this entire ball club. Since the All-Star Break, outside of Judge, only Kyle Higashioka has a wRC+ greater than 130. For perspective, the Astros have five hitters better than 30% above league average. However, the team's average exit velocity is still second in MLB at 90 mph. When it comes to hard hit rate or how often contact has an exit velocity of greater than 95 mph, the Yankees rank third (42.5%). Health is their main issue right now. If the Yankees can get guys like Giancarlo Stanton completely healthy for October, their recent struggles will be more of an anomaly than the rule. The Yankees have weaknesses, but seem to be in good position to cover them up, whether it’s the recent trade for Frankie Montas or improved injury luck. For the latest betting odds, [click here](.
