The Yankees mediocre pitching could really hurt them in the postseason. Defense doesn't seem to be very reliable, either.

I disagree. The Yankees are a scary team to play in a short (5 or 7) game series. They're always liable to put up 12 or 13 runs in a game, and if the offense catches fire when the postseason gets started (assuming they make it) they won't really need to have awesome pitching.
