As of today Yanks only 7 games out of Wildcard but websites saying they only have a 3% chance of making playoffs. How is that possible? i bet them at +15 to 1 at this website:

Seems like a steal. Phillies made up 7 games last year in a few weeks. Any opinions?
I don't think it'll happen. I think Boston is much better than the Mets were last year, and it's very rare to see a collapse like that.
