The Bombers\u2019 bats were never in question, even during their lackluster 2008 season, and the new incarnation of Murderers\u2019 Row looks as strong as ever. Alex Rodriguez should be a man on a mission this season and newcomer Mark Teixeira forms a deadly, powerful middle of the order with him. Robinson Cano, offseason acquisition Nick Swisher and hopefully healthy Jorge Posada should bounce back after disappointing years while Derek Jeter and Johnny Damon, though they\u2019re aging, can still set the table at the top of the order.<\/p>\n
The Yanks are an atrocious defensive team and there\u2019s no getting around that, even if Tex is an upgrade picking balls at first. Poor \u201cD\u201d probably won\u2019t hurt their 2009 MLB odds, though, because their massively upgraded pitching staff features strikeout pitchers who aren\u2019t too interested in putting balls in play (with the exception of Chien-Ming Wang).<\/p>\n
New York made the biggest headlines of any team in free agency, signing C.C. Sabathia and A.J. Burnett to anchor their rotation. Sabathia is a true ace, having shown the ability to strike guys out, go deep in games and shut down top hitters.\u00a0Online betting\u00a0fans should realize that C.C. doesn\u2019t come without risk; his arm has a ton of mileage on it, even if he hasn\u2019t suffered a major injury so far in his career.<\/p>\n
The other big arm acquisition, Burnett, has been to injury hell and back, having had Tommy John surgery a few years ago. Last year, he dispelled his injury prone label and led the American League in strikeouts while going 18-10. Were his numbers deceiving, though? He won more games and stayed healthy but his rate stats \u2013 ERA, WHIP, opponents\u2019 average \u2013 all went up. Online betting fans should remember that before anointing the Yanks future champs.<\/p>\n
Rising star Joba Chamberlain is like a young Burnett \u2013 more of a \u201cthrower\u201d than pitcher, the type who uses his great stuff to punch out hitters \u2013 and he joins Wang and Andy Pettitte to round out the rotation.<\/p>\n
Since the Yankees\u2019 hitting is as strong as ever and they\u2019ve fixed their pitching woes, look for them to contend heavily in this year\u2019s\u00a0MLB odds. Bullpen depth could still be a question mark if Mariano Rivera suffers an injury, though, so the Red Sox and Rays will certainly give them a run in 2009 MLB betting.<\/p>\n
