Physics 101

There is almost a formulaic predictor to the comings and goings of this Yankee team.  I am both the formula and the predictor.

As you have noticed;  the Yankees go on a roll, then give it all back.  Then, they repeat that sequence.

A basic law of physics is that, " every action has an equal and opposite reaction."  So the Yankees win six, then they lose six ( okay 5 ).  They win 5 and then they lose 5 ( possibly 4). If the Yankees were an actual, competitive team, the numbers would work differently.

 But no matter what;  the Yankees stay within striking distance of .500 and, eventually, return to that equilibrium.  Matching the physics law which says, " water will always seek its own level."

So it is time for a new prediction;  The Yankees are about to begin their third best winning streak of the season.  The math suggest that this will result in a win streak of 4 games.

But this one is going to play out a little differently;  The Yankees will win 3 of the next 4 games which, is , basically the same for this Yankee team.  Ike Davis is the "X" factor, possibly contributing to the one loss.

In summary, physics tells us that, " a team which sucks at the core, also sucks at the mother lode."
