Scherzer Set to Defy Expectations and Derail Schlittler’s Highly Anticipated Road Debut

The Yankees come into the game just 10 games over .500 and currently sit in second place of the AL East. This is a team that led the division for a good portion of the season. The Yankees aren’t without their flaws, but the team does have a lot of good things going for them. Pitching was going to be a concern basically from the start of the season, but they have navigated the path very well to this point. When you lose your Ace before the season it can be devastating, but the team has a 3.88 ERA and a 1.22 collective WHIP. They still are looking for some pitching help due to other injuries and issues, though. They are hopeful today’s starter, Cam Schlittler, can help the team. He has only made one start this season, going 5.1 innings and allowing four hits, three earned runs, on two homers, and seven strikeouts. That was a start before the All-Star Break and he was at home. It is a different beast making a road start, and this will be the first of his career.
