Jazz Chisholm Jr. Predicts Yankees Will Win 2026 World Series at 36-23

Jazz Chisholm Jr. said on Jimmy Fallon that the Yankees will “for sure” win the World Series this season, framing the club’s goal simply as winning a title “in New York.”
At 36-23, New York owns a .610 winning percentage and sits two games back of Tampa Bay in the AL East loss column, keeping it near the top of the MLB standings.
The confidence is backed by a deeper roster: Gerrit Cole has opened with 13 scoreless innings after Tommy John surgery, Max Fried is nearing a return, and Cam Schlittler has entered the AL Cy Young conversation.
The lineup has also fueled optimism, with Ben Rice leading MLB in OPS, Cody Bellinger topping the AL in WAR, and the Yankees again leading the league in home runs even before Aaron Judge fully heats up.
That promise still has to survive October, where New York’s power has faded in recent postseasons and extended the franchise’s second-longest World Series drought since its first title in 1923.
