Nope. Yanks don't make the WS. Not enough starting pitching and Joe Maddon ruined Chapman in the 2016 WS.

Hmmm.....tough one, he certainly deserves it for his defensive genius.
Definitely, when it comes to defensive ss I think of 2, ozzie and omar. But a lot of people forget how good omar was with the bat. I think he was just 100 or so short of 3000 hit club . Only 35 or less players to ever play the game have done that. More hits than Lou gehrig,, ruth, teddy ballgame, manny, griffey,brook Robinson etc. A lot of big names he beat. .272 lifetime hitter. Dude could definitely swing the club. That with the defense should b 1st ballot hof. I think this is his 5th year since retirement. Have to check. Which means eligible this coming lot . We shall see. Not to mention he played right threw the height of steroid era. And he never popped for that. Never even ever mentioned. Or is it never ever even mentioned? HmmmHmmm.....tough one, he certainly deserves it for his defensive genius.
....and bats will be flying at his pitches Friday....
Last year’s Yankees won 91 games and finished with a 198+ run differential. I think it was the best. And they’ve made some good additions. I’m guessing Yankees get 95 wins this year... just surpassing the Red Sox with another 93. I read the Yankees have also improved the fastball by 4mph with their lineup. The rivalry between the two teams will definitely be exciting in 2018. In the AL... Go Yankees!Nope. Yanks don't make the WS.

They'll probably still do better than the Phillies.Today, the Marlins gave up a home run on the first pitch of the season. That's a bad start to what is going to be a long season. The Marlins' outfielders better invest in some neck braces. All that turning and watching balls fly out of the park is tough on the neck.
...Chapman had the same problem when he was with the Reds....once his rhythm gets a bit dotty, the wheels fall off.....Yankees do have power but will it be enough? They will win a lot of games 8-7, 10-9, etc. If Chapman continues to have the yips he had last year then they have problems because their starting 5 is suspect.
Red Sox have addressed their power issues and should have bounce back years from Betts and Bogaerts (who had a hand injury all year). Sox starting 5 is better and they owned both Judge and Stanton (in limited interleague play) last year. If Sale can avoid the late season fade Sox win more than the 93 games they won last year. Sox also have a lot of bench depth. Yankees do have a slight edge in the bullpen with stronger middle relievers but that bullpen will be working hard all year for them. Closer is a wash. Barring major injury to either team I'm predicting Sox / Yankees ALCS.
They'll probably still do better than the Phillies.
And the Mariners. Even with Ichiro back on the team.
What’s the over/under on how many game until Phillies manager Gabe Kapler is fired?
