New York Yankees Odds

The New York Yankees are once again a favorite to win the AL East while remaining a top contender for American League and the World Series titles. That’s because the biggest stars in the big leagues have long worn , and continue to wear, the pinstripes.

The franchise where Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Reggie Jackson, Derek Jeter, Aaron Judge and other top stars have played usually have baseball’s best up and down the lineup. In 2024, the Bronx Bombers are once again among the favorites to win, which means a bet on the Yankees is a good bet at NJ online sportsbooks.

Here’s how to bet on the Yankees in New Jersey, including how to get started, a step-by-step guide to understanding how betting markets work, and the history of the Yankees.

Bet on Yankees player futures

If Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Juan Soto are truly the AL MVP candidates everyone thinks they are, they’ll all put up some lofty numbers at the plate this year.

You can bet on each one of those numbers in the MLB futures markets at NJ online sportsbooks, which will feature over/under lines for just about every offensive category for these Yankees stars. That means you can bet on Judge’s HR total, Stanton’s total hits, Soto’s RBI’s and more.

How to bet on Yankees games in NJ

If you want to bet on the Yankees on your phone in New Jersey there are four simple things you need to do. Here are the step-by-step instructions:

• First, you need to download and install an online sportsbook app on your phone or tablet. Make sure your iOS or Android device uses an operating system that meets the minimum requirements. Then, download and install the sportsbook app from the sportsbook website. You’ll find a link to that website in the toplists right here on this page. If you use Android, you may have to adjust your settings to allow installations from sources outside of Google Play. Plus, both iOS or Android users should make sure to allow the app to access their location, or download geolocation software so it can tell you are in NJ when you’re betting.
• Next, you need to sign up for an account. Just have certain personal and account information, like your name and SSN, with you when you open the app and click the ‘Sign Up’ button. Fill out the registration form and make sure to include any promo or bonus code you find here on PlayNJ. That’ll make sure you get the biggest bonus you can.
• After that, you can deposit money into your account to bet with via the ‘Cashier’ button. Choose from a list of available deposit methods, enter an amount, and follow the prompts. Everything from credit and debit cards to online banking and third-party payment processors can be used, and your money should show up in your account almost instantly.
• Finally, browse around through the MLB betting odds until you find something you want to bet on. Tapping on the bet will start the process by instantly creating a bet slip. There, you fill out an amount to bet, add other bets, and combine any bets you want to into a parlay. Your bet slip will show you all your potential payouts and you just click on the ‘Place Bet’ button to place the bets.

Yankees schedule 2024

The Yankees play a traditional 162-game schedule that includes 13 games each against the four other AL East teams plus six games against six AL opponents and seven games against four AL opponents. They also play 46 inter-league games. This is the first season for the new MLB schedule in which the Yankees will play at least one series against the other 29 clubs.

Opening day is March 28, 2024 with Yankees kicking the season off on the road against the Houston Astros in the first game of a four-game set. The MLB regular season is scheduled to run through Sep. 29, 2023 and will be immediately followed by the MLB postseason.

Look above for the latest 2024 Yankees game lines and futures odds.

How did the Yankees do last year?

The New York Yankees had an uncharacteristically down year in 2023, finishing 82-80 and missing the American League playoffs. That broke a streak of six straight years’ worth of Yanks postseason appearances.

NJ sportsbooks were nonetheless optimistic about the Yankees heading into 2024, with most putting their World Series title futures odds at around +1000. Only the Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves, and Houston Astros had shorter odds entering the season.

How to read a Yankees betting line

A typical Yankees game line at an NJ online sportsbook will look something like this:

• Toronto Blue Jays (A. Manoah) +1.5 (+110) +140 O 4.5 (-110)
• New York Yankees (N. Cortes) -1.5 (-110) -165 U 4.5 (-110)

First is the name of the teams with the projected starting pitchers in brackets. Next is the run line. Here, the Yankees are still slight favorites to win with a standard 1.5 run line factored into the final score.

The -110 odds on a Yankees run line bet mean you must bet $110 to win $100, plus your bet back, and the Yankees must win by two or more runs. The +110 odds on the Jays run line tells you that you can win $100, plus your bet back, for every $100 you bet and the Jays can win outright or lose by just one run.

Next is the moneyline. Here, you bet on the Yankees to win outright and must bet $165 to win $100, plus your bet back. Or, you can bet on the Jays to win outright and get paid $140, plus your bet back, for every $100 you bet. Finally, the totals line is shown on both sides with odds on the over and under in brackets. You can bet $110 to win $100, plus your bet back, on either five or more combined runs scored, or four or under.

Yankees Vegas odds vs. online odds in NY/NJ

The Yankees are a popular team, which means people bet on them everywhere. That kind of action can force a sportsbook to move a line. The thing is, only the sportsbook where the big money is bet moves that line.

In other words, the lines​ on a typical Yankees game starts out the same everywhere, from NJ online sportsbooks to traditional Las​ Vegas​ sportsbooks. Then, when someone walks into a Vegas sportsbook and drops down a huge bet on the Yanks, that Vegas sportsbook might move the line to try to attract betting to the other side. NJ online sportsbooks will stand pat, until betting there forces them into action.

Local interest often drives​ betting,​ which means there’s usually more money bet locally on New York than elsewhere. The would normally equal a bigger chance a Yankees line will​ move​ at an NJ online sportsbooks than a traditional Las Vegas​ sportsbook. However, the Yankees worldwide popularity and place as a perennial betting favorite may be the exception to that rule, making the Vegas Yankees line as apt to change as the NJ Yankees line.

Ultimately, that means Yankees game lines start the same at NJ online sportsbooks and traditional Las​ Vegas​ sportsbooks, but either one might move at any time, making them different by the time the first pitch is thrown.

Yankees live betting

Want to quickly make up for some pregame betting mistakes or simply get more action down on the Yankees? You can do that now with live baseball betting on NJ online sportsbooks. In fact, live betting opens up a huge variety of increased betting opportunities to you with live odds that change with the action in the game.

That means many of the same markets you bet on before games at changing odds, plus inning-by-inning betting and live props at odds that are constantly changing based on things the score and inning.

Just remember that these odds change fast, making NJ sportsbook apps the best way to really get involved. Chances are you won’t get a bet down fast enough inside a retail sportsbook to wager effectively in live Yankees betting markets.

Why bet the Yankees over other MLB teams?

You should bet on the New York Yankees over other MLB teams simply because they win so often. In fact, the Yankees’ .570 lifetime regular season winning percentage is the best in the majors.

Win close to 60% of your bets on anything and you’re likely making a profit. The thing is, betting the Yankees moneyline often means laying money. However, the Yankees win so many games throughout a season, the small rewards may add up fast.

Of course, you may also find the Yankees as run line underdogs quite often, giving you the chance to bet one of baseball’s traditionally highest scoring teams winning by two runs or more and getting a favorable price on the bet. The truth is, you can be profitable betting the Yankees as run line underdogs by winning only 40% of these bets. As long as the prices are right, you’ll quickly make up for any losses by winning a few of these bets at decent odds.

The New York Yankees don’t have any specific sportsbook partnerships. However, BetMGM, DraftKings, and FanDuel all count themselves official gaming partners of MLB, giving them the rights to official MLB data, and league and team logos for promotional purposes.
