I wanted to go into Witness Protection after Wednesday. Holy Moly Batman was that ugly. Even some teams I didn't play that I nearly did also lost. Hopefully only such day of season. We are into the weird Bermuda Triangle stretch where guys are looking toward the break. As bad as things have been for the Yanks of late, I expect a massive bounce-back today. The Bombers crush lefties and face one in Tyler Anderson, he of the 6.31 road ERA and 9.00 ERA this month overall. No Angels have very good splits off New York's Carlos Rodon (8-5, 3.01 ERA).
The Yankees mash leftie at home and Tyler Anderson just got roughed up by the O's over the weekend - the worst team against lefties in MLB. Rodon has been far more good than bad for NY and at some point Aaron Judge will make contact again and the Yankees will start hitting again. Positive regression and all.
Not good for the Yanks, on the verge of getting swept four by the Halos in the Bronx, which would stretch the current skid to seven games. It could happen after the offense recently had a 33-inning streak without scoring a run, but if the Yankees are to snap out of it, they have the right guy on the mound this afternoon in Carlos Rodon, who fired seven shutout innings at the Angels the last time he faced them on May 27. The Angels, while winning the last three, aren't scoring many runs this week (just ten runs the past four games), and Tyler Anderson has labored in his last three starts, with a sky-high 9.00 ERA.
