The Surprising Truth Hidden Between Yesterday’s Gains and Today’s Losses
Today should be a bit different. Sure, the Yankees offense can get to anyone, but the reality is that they have to face one of the better pitchers in the American League, a guy that could be a Cy Young contender this season in Garrett Crochet. For the season Crochet has knitted himself a great campaign with a 1.98 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP. He also already has 101 strikeouts thrown in just 82 innings. If we are being objective here, the ERA will increase if that WHIP doesn’t dip below one. You cant allow a base runner every inning on average and expect to have that low of an ERA. Crochet hasn’t faced the Yankees much in his career, but Cody Bellinger is 2-for-2 with a homer against him. The Yankees send out Ryan Yarbrough to battle against Crochet. Yarbrough has been surprisingly good for New York this season with a 3-0 record and a 2.83 ERA. He also is sporting a 0.99 WHIP and striking out about one hitter per inning. He’s been very good against the Red Sox, holding them to just eight hits in 41 at-bats. To be clear, Rafael Devers is 6-for-27 against him so the rest of the team is just 2-for-14.Â
