The New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox will play an early one today in the Bronx. The Yankees have Cam Schlittler slated to get the start. The young phenom had a rare bad outing in his last turn against the Cleveland Guardians after allowing 5 runs on 5 hits, resulting in a 9-4 loss. Despite his last turn Schlittler is still 7-3 with an ERA of only 1.89, a 0.86 WHIP, and last faced the Red Sox back in April where he twirled a gem allowing only 1 earned run on 4 hits over 8 frames and the Yankees went on to a 4-2 win. Boston is expected to have lefty Ranger Suárez toeing the rubber. Suárez is 2-3 with a 3.38 ERA, a 1.16 WHIP, and is 1-2 in his career against the Yankees with an ERA of 4.38. The Yankees at home are always the side to consider. The Bombers are 18-12 in the Bronx, have won five of their last six meetings with the Red Sox, and feast on left-handed pitching.
