Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Yankees fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. You can’t predict baseball, except for the times that you can.

The Yankees are off to another strong start, the Dodgers look as great as ever, and the Brewers, despite middling projections, are once again in first place in the NL Central, all developments that are far from shocking. Some things, it feels you can just set your watch to. But for every expectation met, there’s been an expectation subverted thus far this year.

And so we ask, almost two weeks into the season, which of the Yankees’ AL opponents has most surprised you with their start to the year? Typically, surprises can come in the pleasant variety, but not so in this poll, as we have four shaky starts to choose from here. One is from an AL West rival, with the Mariners sputtering to a 4-7 on the heels of a division title and an ALCS last year.
