Just about every winning team piles up a big margin of wins against weaker competition, World Series winners do this too: some, more than others. Doesn't mean the Yanks will win it all; doesn't mean they can't, either.

Their record against the 3 worst teams in the league was 40-14 (26 games over .500). Twenty-six and and thirty are pretty close, too.
