The New York Yankees are baseball’s richest franchise, and many times they have been its best; however, TheGreek.com is expecting a bit of a drop off from New York this year. 2013 New York Yankees Regular Season Wins at the offshore book is set at 88 and the Under is presently favored at -130 odds ($130 wins $100).

The last time the Yankees won fewer than 88 games was the 2000 season when they finished with an 87-74 record. New York has averaged 97 wins per year since that ‘sub-par’ campaign, and it topped the American League East last season with a 95-67 mark.

If the odds makers are correct, though, the Bronx Bombers will struggle to reach 88 wins this season. There are a myriad of reasons behind the lower than usual regular season win total, but the chief rationale in regard to the number centers on an anticipated power outage.

New York scored 804 runs last season, its fewest since posting 789 in 2008 when it registered 89 wins. And that number (runs scored) figures to drop even further this season with Derek Jeter returning from injury, Alex Rodriguez (also rehabbing an injury) and Mark Teixeira fighting father time, and Curtis Granderson, the Yanks biggest run producer last season, suffering a forearm injury that will have him out of the lineup till May.

The Yankees power has long made up for an inconsistent pitching staff, but it would appear, at least at this juncture, it may not be able to this year.
