Sell: New York Yankees (77-60)
Up until Sept. 9, if I were a betting man, this would be the one team bubble team I would have put money on on to make the playoffs. Whether it was by way of winning the AL East or winning the Wild Card, The Yankees were in great shape. To date, they are 1.5 games behind the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East and are 3.5 games ahead of the Texas Rangers for the top Wild Card spot. However, with remaining series against the Blue Jays and Rays, the Yankees can’t afford to slip.
Oh, and more importantly they just received some horrific news that right-hander Nathan Eovaldi will likely miss the rest of the season with elbow inflammation, and Mark Teixeira’s return is questionable with nerve issues in his leg. With the subtractions of their top pitcher and big-time slugger, combined with the consistent play by the Blue Jays, the Yankees could very well be watching the playoffs from their homes in October.
