3 reasons the Yankees won’t win the 2022 World Series

1) Yankees have a giant called the Astros to get through

Something about the Yankees seems similar to the story of the first Major League movie. You may recall the team didn’t even win the World Series in the film. Things ended with an American League pennant victory. And as we learned in the second film, they didn’t win the World Series.

This feels like a scenario which could happen with the Yankees. Unable to overcome the current incarnation of the Houston Astros during their many recent postseason battles, if they are able to slay the giant, it might exhaust all of their energy.

First, we need to believe they can take down the Astros. Houston has many more ways they can win games. They’ve stayed much healthier this year and don’t have an offense relying on a single player to hit a home run or two for victory.

Houston is beatable but so are the Yankees. An ALCS between these two could drag on for seven games. Then comes the real challenge: beating the winner from the National League.

The Yankees spent a good portion of the 2022 season way ahead of everyone else in the standings. Lately, it’s looking like several of the National League clubs would have nothing to fear with them.

New York is in for a brutal battle on their way to possibly face the Astros in the ALCS. Unfortunately, even if they come away as the winner, it might take the last ounce of their energy before the challenge of a World Series fight even begins.
