Look at who's on the Yankees schedule from now until the end of the season.
Detroit, Boston, Tampa Bay, Seattle, Kansas City, Toronto and Baltimore.
TB, KC and Baltimore are all garbage teams and figure to add to NY's win column.
NY took took three out of four the last time they played Detroit.
Since the All-Star break NY has won more against Boston than they've lost.
NY is 5 - 2 in their last seven games against the BJ's.
So, you know, based on that information I think NY's chances of making the post season are pretty good. Keep in mind that I'm not a Yankee fan, but you can't argue with facts. The only way for them to NOT make the post season would be to have a monumental collapse down the stretch.
Also, what's wrong with A-Rod?

I'm taking Seattle for the AL Wild Card.

I'll take you up on that bet. They still have to play the Indians, the Angels, the Tigers AND the Yankees.

Past failures mean diddly squat to this year.
