On July 2, 2024, the New York Yankees woke up to a record of 50-26. Since then, the Bronx Bombers have fallen into inconsistency. New York won 15 of their next 27 games. While not bad, that was not the same baseball betting odds pace that gamblers and fans were used to. As a result, the Yankees fell behind the Baltimore Orioles in the American League East Division race. As the Yankees enter the dog days of summer, they remain one of the public’s top choices to win the World Series, something they have not done since 2009.

2024 New York Yankees Manager
Manager Aaron Boone has been in his sports betting role since 2018 and has a career record of 509-361. Boone was hired to win the World Series, which he has yet to make. Certainly, if the late Boss George Steinbrenner were alive, Boone would have been fired two or three times by now.
