That means you can bet on everything from Judge hitting more or less than 34.5 Home Runs to LeMahieu batting in more or less than 75.5 runs and everything in between.

How did the Yankees do last year?

The New York Yankees went 33-27 in the shortened 2020 MLB season. Even though they started off the campaign at 16-6, they lost 15 out of their next 20 to come back down to earth. In the end, the Yankees could do no better than 2nd in the AL East behind the Tampa Bay Rays.

That gave the Yanks the 5th seed in the American League postseason. New York swept through a best of three Wild Card Series against the Cleveland Indians. However, they were eliminated in five games in the American League Division Series against Tampa Bay.

In the offseason, the team re-signed free agents DJ LeMahieu and Brett Gardner while also signing two-time AL CY Young award winning pitcher Corey Kluber, right-hander Darren O’Day, and left-hander Justin Wilson.

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 (H. Ryu) +1.5 (+110) +140 O 4.5 (-110)
• New York Yankees (C. Kluber) -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.

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.
