New York Yankees

This particular team finished at the top spot in the American League East last year. The New York Yankees won a total of 103 games and lost just 59. They were the third team in the league to win the most number of games. Last year was a disappointment when they lost against Houston Astros and failed to make it further. New York is back stronger after a few changes and they will try not to make the same mistake this year. The Yankees have acquired Gerrit Cole from Houston and they are all set to deliver Cole to the mound as the starting pitcher of their opening game. Cole is currently one of the highest-paid pitchers in baseball history. From the batting side, the Yankees are looking promising with their star players such as Gleyber Torres, Aaron Judge, DJ LeMahieu, Giancarlo Stanton and Gary Sanchez.
