Cora and Boone’s Strategic Duel: The Unexpected Battle That Could Keep Scores Surprisingly Low
The Yankees were my choice to win the series after I bet on the Red Sox to win the first game of the series. I think the pitching for the Yankees overall is a bit better, and the hitting is also in their favor. Their bullpen hasn’t had to have the same number of innings, either. After not starting in Game 1, the team started Jazz Chisholm in Game 2, and I’m interested to see what they do with him here. He was clearly not happy about not starting Game 1, and now is not the time for a distraction. Aaron Judge has done his part to this point, collecting four hits in eight at-bats. It will be interesting to see how patient the lineup is against Early. They need to make him uncomfortable as quickly as possible. The Yankees are using a young’n of their own today as they send out Cam Schlittler to the mound. Schlittler has a lot more experience than Early, going 73 innings this year, and pitching to a 2.96 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. He has been slightly worse at home and at night than on the road and in day games, so this might not be the ideal situation for him. He also has not faced Boston hitters, and his batting average against him the first time through the lineup is .202.
