Yankees Champions Again?

According to one news report, the Yankees have won 21 of their first 30 games 16 times (including this season, 21 - 8) in the history of the franchise (they will play game number 30 Sunday night at Fenway). Of the previous 15 seasons they have started off winning 21 out of 30, the Yankees reached the World Series each time. Of those 15 World Series berths the boys in pinstripes won it all 12 times. For those people wondering that would be an 80% success rate. Therefore, based on these statistics, and the fact that we won a lot of games without much help from Teixeira and Rodriguez thus far, the Empire has an 80% chance of defending their title this year. Frankly, I think that number might be too low.
