The New York Yankees are the best team in baseball on the days Randy Johnson starts. The rest of the time, the Yankees are just another good team.
No one is ready to predict a losing season for New York based on an 8-11 start. But what we have seen from those 19 games raises serious doubts that the Yankees are going to be a juggernaut of a team that rips off more than 100 victories. Indeed, New York has the look of a 90-win team right now, which pulls the surprising Baltimore Orioles and the unpredictable American League Central into the wild-card picture.
