The 2023 New York Yankees, as a whole, have underperformed thus far. They entered 2023 as the favorites in the East, with FanGraphs giving them a 42.7 percent chance to take the division crown and 81.2 percent to make the playoffs. In such a competitive division, these numbers were the best by a fair margin. Now, as we sit just over half way through the season, their division odds have dropped below 10 percent, and their playoff odds below 75.
Things have looked bleak at times, and with Aaron Judge still down, things may not change all that quickly.
