Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 3382890, member: 3609"] Washington Post believes the system that will be used this season [URL='https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/05/05/yankees-would-lead-biggest-winners-mlbs-radical-realignment-short-season-proposal/']favors the Yanks[/URL]. (May be behind paywall.) A sampling: The Bronx Bombers were projected to win 96 of 162 games (a .593 winning percentage) and easily dominate the AL East with a cushion as large as seven games over the Rays, their closest division rival. It’s possible the Pirates and Marlins join the Blue Jays and perennial bottom-dweller Orioles as sub-.500 clubs that would litter the Yankees’ new schedule, pushing New York’s win rate to 67 percent over a 100-game season in the proposed division. No other team is expected to see more wins per 100 games than the Yankees under this plan. [/QUOTE]
