The Yankees are not having the best season so far they are just 1 game over .500 at 46-45 but if you look at their stats its surprising they’re not worse then they actually are. The Yankees are averaging 4.05 runs per game on offense while allowing 4.46 runs on defense for a -0.41 run deferential so with those kind of numbers they’re lucky they’re not 5 or 10 games under .500.
