They have the best bullpen in baseball
The New York Yankees have been one of the hottest teams in baseball over the last month. They have won 19 of their last 25 games, and they currently sit atop the American League East standings.

The Yankees bullpen has a 2.18 ERA during the team’s last 25 games, which is nearly a full run better than the next best bullpen in baseball (the Houston Astros). They have also allowed just six home runs in that span, while racking up 124 strikeouts. Dellin Betances, Andrew Miller, and Aroldis Chapman have been virtually unhittable out of the back end of the bullpen, and that has given the Yankees a big edge in close games.
The Yankees will look to keep up their winning ways this week as they begin a seven-game road trip against division rivals Baltimore and Boston. If their bullpen can continue to dominate, there is no reason to think they won’t be one of the best teams in baseball all season long.
