For 2000:
91, 94, 92 and 94
What are the number wins it took to win the Wild Card in the AL in each of the last 4 years?
For the Yanks to get to 93 W's, they need to go 54-27. Certainly possible. But normally, teams that are under .500 don't start winning 2 of every 3.
Oh, and 93 might not be enough. Current leader, Detroit, is on pace for 95 W's. To get there, the Yanks would need to reel off a blistering 56-25. Over the first 81 games, nobody has played that well.
It's time or Murray Chass to start an article, "I come not to bury the Yankees, but to praise them...."
