Today’s matchup is between the New York Yankees (33-27) and the Cleveland Indians (35-25). The Yankees have won 1 of their last 5 games & the Indians have won 4 of their last 5 games.
The Yankees are starting Masahiro Tanaka (RHP), on the mound who is 3-3 on the season pitching a 3.56 ERA, 4.42 FIP, .314 wOBA, K% of 22.3%, BB% of 4.1%, 88.5 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.17 WHIP in 48.0 innings pitched.
The Indians are starting Carlos Carrasco (RHP), who is 3-4 on the season with a 2.91 ERA, 3.59 FIP, .288 wOBA, K% of 29.3%, BB% of 9.6%, 88.0 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.21 WHIP in 68.0 innings pitched.
The Yankees are the 19th best in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Indians are 2nd.
On the hitting side, the Yankees have a .342 wOBA and a .343 OBP. The Indians have a .301 wOBA and a .315 OBP. The Yankees have 94 HRs this season while the Indians have 57 HRs.
The New York Yankees have been cold as of late, struggling to score runs in 4 of their last 5 games. I'm looking for Carlos Carrasco to continue to reveal the Yankees woes. The Line hasn't been revealed yet but the Indians straight up it probably is.
