No, You're A Towel: Yankees Good No Matter What

The Yankees are currently at 85-48, sporting the best record in baseball. They're also the only team with a .600 winning percentage. How do they rank in the advanced standing categories?

Best in baseball with a 45-20 record at home

Best in the American League with a 40-28 road record

Best in the American League with a 7-3 extra innings record

Best in baseball with a 55-34 record vs right-handed pitching

Best in baseball with a 30-14 record vs left-handed pitching

Best the American League with a 42-32 record against teams with a record greater that .500

Best in baseball with a 45-18 record against teams with a record less than .500

Best in the American League with a 8-2 record in their last 10 and 15-5 record in their last 20

Tied for best record in baseball with St. Louis with a 23-7 record in their last 30

Currently have the longest winning streak in baseball at 6 games

Best in baseball with 763 runs scored

They're also an MLB-best 23-8 against the AL Central division, which is probably where they'll find their first round opponent. Let's hope they can keep this up heading into the playoffs.
