Yankee's Wins and Loses Breakdown

I wanted to take a look at how the Yankees have won and loss their games this season since so many people know about the 14walk off wins the Yankees have this season (The Most since 1943). I am going to have 3 categories for both wins and losses asides from total, home, and away: 1. One Run Games 2. Blow out Games 3. Extra Innings.

*Blow outs are by 8 or more runs (8 runs= 2 Grandslams)

Wins
Total: 94
Home: 52
Away: 42
One Run Games: 17
Blow outs: 14
Extra Innings: 7

Loses

Total: 54
Home: 23
Away: 31
One Run Games: 15
Blow outs: 5
Extra Innings:3

SP in Blow outs:
CC Sabathia: W-5 L-1
A.J. Burnett: W-5 L-2
Chin-Ming Wang: L-2
Philip Hughes: W-2
Andy Pettitte: W-1
Sergio Mitre: W-1

Now it could just be coinscidence, but the Yankees do seem to score the most for the pitchers seen as there Ace and #2 guy. Now granted A.J. hasn't been himself of late, but the only start where he seemed to have his stuff, over the last months time, occured in a Yankees blow out of the Rays. So it may be said the Yankee hitters can tell early on when their pitchers are on, and there is a major release of pressure off their backs. Afterall It could just be wild coinscidence, but it's still fun to see that the Yankees have only been blown out 3 times since the early season Wang disaster. Also note since they have 14 games in which they've blown out opponents and have played a total of 147 games they have practically blown out teams in 10% of their games. Hopefully the Yankee bats feel the same confidence and ease in every game come playoff time!
