Considering their current roster for the upcoming season, it will be very hard for them to compete against the heavyweights like LA Dodgers, Atlanta Braves, and Boston Red Sox.
However, the Yankees star Anthony Rizzo believes that to stay in the contest of the championship, they must not lose the initial league games. Because he rightly believes no team can win the World Series in April and May. But they sure can lose one.
According to Max Goodman of Sports Illustrated, Rizzo said getting off to a good start is the most important thing to establish that confidence throughout the year.
