The beauty of baseball is how it is a "situational" sport. It's not directly confrontational like NFL. It's not individual as basketball. It's decision making basis...
Based on those decisions, a result can make you appear weaker than you are, or conversely stronger than you are.
Where are the Yanks right now? I think they're fine. Believe it or not, they faced a superior team in the Rays who are just all around younger, deeper, and cheaper...credit that to the scouting on that franchise BUT...
BUT....they haven't won a WS yet. They sucked for the better part of their existence to stockpile top picks. If any Yankee fan complains, by all means ask Knicks fans how long THAT franchise has been rebuilding for...since 1973. Winning is NOT guaranteed not even in New York.
How much should we believe? Well don't believe the Yanks are that feeble or you can buy that the O's are THAT good.
Match ups:
Nova v. Matusz
Garcia v. Chen
Sabbathia v. Arrieta
Meanwhile, the Rays face Detroit. NOW, what if the Rays get swept and BOTH Yanks and Rays are 3-3? What will the doubters say? AGAIN, MLB is a different sport. Play the league NOT one team in a war of attrition....
