After being red hot, the New York Yankees have now lost two in a row but I see them getting back on track today when they play an early one in the Bronx against the Oakland Athletics. During their hot streak, the Bombers mowed down the best in the business – the Angels, Astros, Indians, and Red Sox. Today they will send the young upstart, Domingo Germán, to the hill. Germán has shown signs of brilliance. He possesses a 2.66 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP, and in his last 2 outings he has pitched 10 scoreless innings. Oakland counters with Andrew Triggs. Triggs has been an anchor for the Athletics at 3-1 but has an elevated 4.41 ERA, a 1.21 WHIP, and the A’s are 1-5 in his last 6 starts against the powerful American League East. The conditions today in New York are ripe for the Bombers’ bats, with a temperature of 58 degrees Fahrenheit and 11 MPH winds out of the NNE.
