It is true that the New York Yankees have the second-highest payroll in baseball. Yet the Yankees are in the basement of the American League East. Nobody can understand why. But a look at the 2022 baseball betting odds season showed clues. New York has no starting pitching depth. And there was too much emphasis on Aaron Judge breaking the single-season home run record. Since Judge became the home run king, the Yankees have not been consistent winners. By contrast, the Atlanta Braves are World Series material.
