The stat analysts at Baseball Reference have predicted a dismal playoff outlook for the New York Yankees in 2024. Their projections indicate that the team has only a 2.7 percent chance of making the postseason and winning just 71.6 games, which is significantly worse than some other teams in the league.
On the other hand, Fangraphs predict that the Yankees will win 88 games and place fourth overall in baseball. Additionally, BetRivers Sportsbook forecasts New York to win 91.5 games, giving them the third-highest odds to win the most games in baseball.
Despite their poor performance in 2023, the Yankees are expected to see improvement with Juan Soto on board and a potential full season from Aaron Judge. However, Baseball Reference’s projection may seem limited as it only considers run differential and schedule strength from previous games and does not take into account player injuries or offseason changes.
