On May 28, the Yankees beat the Angels, 1-0, to run their record to 35-20 and their lead in the AL East to seven games. The first third of the season could hardly have gone better for the Pinstripes, who were getting MVP numbers from Aaron Judge and Cy Young-esque numbers from Max Fried. Everything was Hunky-dory, and it felt like the remaining 107 games of the season were just about getting the Bombers in the best shape for October. Oddsmakers had the Yankees pegged as the clear favorite in the American League, with only the Los Angeles Dodgers boasting shorter odds to win the World Series. Those days are long gone. The Yankees have gone 21-18 since that win over the Halos, relinquishing their lead in the AL East to the Toronto Blue Jays in the process. Aaron Boone and the Yankees are in danger of missing the playoffs. JASON SZENES/ NY POST The Bombers trailed the Jays by 6.5 games going into play on Sunday, and the oddsmakers have reacted by installing Toronto as a -250 favorite to win the AL East, with the Yankees sitting at +300. It's a big shift considering the Pinstripes were odds-on to top the division a week ago. But you could make a solid argument that the price hasn't moved enough. Not only have the Yankees played uninspiring ball for the last two months, but there aren't any concrete indications that things will just turn around. The additions of Ryan McMahon and Amed Rosario should help stabilize things a bit, but they're not going to completely change a team that seems out of answers and desperate for a jolt. What's more concerning is that the upcoming schedule for the Yankees is treacherous. After wrapping up their series with the Phillies on Sunday, the Yankees host the Rays for four games, before a three-game set with the Marlins. Tampa Bay is just 3.5 games behind the Pinstripes going into play on Sunday, and the Yankees have already let the Jays and Red Sox back into the mix by getting whitewashed in series. It would not be a huge shock to see the same thing happen with the pesky Rays. After three games against the middling Fish, the Yanks will head to Texas for six games against the Rangers and Astros. The Rangers are in the thick of the playoff race in the American League. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect The streaking Rangers provide a terrific parallel for the Pinstripes. The two teams are currently separated by one game, and they both have a similarly strong statistical profile. According to MLB's expected win-loss metric, the Rangers 'should' be 61-44, which is six wins better than their actual output. The same stat suggests that the Yanks 'should' be 61-43. Learn all you need to know about MLB Betting This all boils down to the fact that the Bombers and Rangers boast the two best run differentials in the American League. Despite their similar standing – Texas is five games back of Houston in the AL West – the betting market views these two teams very differently. The Rangers are a whopping 50/1 long shot to win the World Series at Caesars, while the Yankees are sitting at 10/1. So while you may be thinking now is the right time to buy low on the Yankees, the better option may be to pivot to a team with a remarkably similar profile to the Pinstripes. The only difference is that the Rangers – the team being offered at 5x the price as their contemporaries – actually seem to be heading in the right direction.

Topgolf competitor nearing bankruptcy after ambitious growth plans
A major name in the 'eatertainment' space is preparing to file for bankruptcy. Pinstripes — the upscale chain that combines bowling alleys, bocce courts and a full bistro menu — is readying paperwork to file for Chapter 11. With fire pits and Adirondack chairs, it once positioned itself as a stylish alternative to Topgolf or Dave & Buster's. Pizzas range from $19 to $26 at certain locations, while prime rib sandwiches cost around $21. Restaurant-goers can rent a bowling alley for $20 to $80, depending on the venue's daily popularity. The company operates 18 massive venues across the U.S., each spanning up to 38,000 square feet and capable of hosting up to 1,500 guests. Pinstripes plans to stay open as the bankruptcy process moves through the courts, according to Bloomberg. But the report marks the latest blow for a company that once touted 'rapid growth' across the US, according to its website. During its February earnings call, the company posted an $8 million loss while seeing a 7.7 percent decrease in sales. Then, in March, the company was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange after it failed to hit a $15 million market cap for 30 straight days. It spent just over a year as a publicly traded company. After the delisting, the company received $7.5 million in financing. But it traded away 85 percent of its shares in exchange. Pinstripes didn't immediately respond to request for comment. If the bankruptcy goes through, Pinstripes wouldn't be alone. Several household-name restaurants have announced bankruptcy filings, mass closures, and staff cuts in a difficult restaurant environment. Red Lobster, Hooters, TGI Fridays, On The Border, Roti, and Bertucci's — all restaurants that catered to middle-income Americans, have all filed for bankruptcy in the past year. The restaurants are largely facing two major strains: increased costs and lower customer traffic. Monthly inflation rates have cooled to just above the Federal Reserve's target of 2 percent, after peaking at over 9 percent in 2022. But baked-in food inflation has made running a restaurant significantly more expensive.

Dave & Buster's rival set for bankruptcy sparking fears all locations will shut

Pinstripes attempted to join the 'eatertainment' industry, pairing mid-tier priced foods with physical games - but the company has run into major financial issues The restaurants are largely facing two major strains: increased costs and lower customer traffic. Monthly inflation rates have cooled to just above the Federal Reserve's target of 2 percent, after peaking at over 9 percent in 2022. But baked-in food inflation has made running a restaurant significantly more expensive. Even financially stable chains — like Denny's, Applebee's, Outback Steakhouse, and Cracker Barrel — have all reported shrinking sales estimates at the start of 2025, largely because their costs have increased. Meanwhile, grocery prices have also forced cash-strapped Americans to forgo nights out for meals prepared at home. The trend has helped some cost-cutting grocery brands, like Campbell's soup, which reported over $66 million in profit, largely from its $2 to $7 cans. 'Consumers are cooking at home at the highest levels since early 2020,' Mick Beekhuizen, the iconic soup-maker's CEO said during the company's latest earnings.

Yankees vs. Red Sox prediction: Garrett Crochet can't handle bombers on Friday
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Yankees-Red Sox at Fenway Park will always have a mystique about it, even when Boston isn't playing its best. The Red Sox (34-36) are fourth in the American League East, a whopping 9.5 games behind the first-place Yankees, who are among the World Series favorites this season. The Alex Cora-led Sox did take two of three from their bitter rivals last week in a series in the Bronx, so there is some reason for positivity, as their lineup is among the best in the league. Things have been extremely rough on the starting rotation, with seemingly none of their perceived upgrades from the offseason performing up to standard in 2025. Starters Lucas Giolito and Walker Buehler have been borderline disasters up until this point, and tonight's starter, Garrett Crochet (6-4, 2.35 ERA), can only do so much. In a rematch of last week's matchup, it's Ryan Yarbrough matching up with Crochet, but there's a bit of a different wrinkle to the lineup. Garrett Crochet is the reason the Red Sox are favored on Friday. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Boston is sitting star outfielder Jarren Duran on Friday night, and rookie infielder Marcelo Mayer, who is coming off a two-homer performance, is also riding the pine. It's a strange move to have all of those guys sitting even against the left-pitching Yarbrough. All things being considered, I disagree with the lineup card for Friday's AL East tilt and would prefer to back the Yankees as underdogs. The Yankees are currently sitting at +123 on the moneyline, which would be the third-longest price on the Pinstripes this season. They closed +160 against the Dodgers on June 1, and +155 against the Tigers back on April 8. Learn all you need to know about MLB Betting I don't view the Red Sox in the same ballpark (pun intended) as either of those teams, and I'll happily take the underdog price on the better team.
