PLAY OF THE DAY!
The Yankees are coming off an inexplicable series loss at home to the Cardinals and NEED to get back on track! They come into this game just 1/2 a game up on the Orioles for the lead in the AL East. Fortunately, Gerrit Cole is taking the ball. Cole has been rounding into form and has a very solid 2.95 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in his last 7 starts. He didn’t pitch well in his last start against the Nationals, but overall, he’s given up just 6 earned runs in his last 5 starts! Now THAT is something to build on! It’s been a completely different season for Jack Leiter. He’s only made 4 starts this year and has posted an unsightly 12.83 ERA and 2.40 WHIP! He struggled in his last start against the historically bad White Sox and only had a 3.51 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in the minors this season. This is a TOUGH assignment for Leiter tonight. The Yankees have one of the BEST lineups in the game and their top bullpen arms SHOULD be ready to go in this one! The Rangers are averaging just 3.67 runs per game over their last 30 games, so Gerrit Cole and the bullpen SHOULD be able to shut them down! Look for the Yankees to come out agressive and ready to go against an inferior opponent in a game they REALLY need!
