Yes, the 2018 Yankees can break the record.
On paper, the Yanks appear to be a hazardous team for opposing pitching. It’s a lineup that’s so dangerous that if everyone just meets their expectations, they could obliterate the record.
Since last season’s Bronx Bombers fell just 23 homers shy of tying the record, one would think they are at least contenders.
Then again, 2017 was a crazy year for home runs in the league. In fact, as weak as the Padres and Royals were, both hit over 185 long balls!
