New York Yankees 2021 MLB Season Odds
It’s been a case of following the bouncing ball where the 2021 season of the New York Yankees is concerned. They were treading water at 41-41 on July 4. Then they put together a 35-11 run that included a 13-game winning streak, the best run of success by the club since 1961.
Just when prosperity seemed assured, the Yanks started skidding. A 2-11 slide coming immediately on the heels of that 13-game hot streak once again left postseason play in some jeopardy.

Individual Honors
Gerrit Cole has achieved several honors during his career. However, the Yankees pitcher hasn’t won a Cy Young Award. He was runner-up in the AL Cy Young balloting in 2019.

Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is the fourth betting choice in AL MVP odds at +10000. Cole and outfielder Joey Gallo are both listed at a betting line of +25000.
