[MLB] July 5, 02:05 New York Yankees vs. Cincinnati Game Preview
Marcus Stroman
Marcus Stroman (7 wins, 3 losses, 3.29 ERA) is aiming for his 8th win of the season. Stroman showed a poor performance on the 29th in Toronto, pitching 4.1 innings and allowing 3 runs. His recent away game performance has not been very good. In contrast, he is a considerably good pitcher in home games, especially in day games, making him a hopeful prospect. In the previous game, the Yankees' lineup only managed to score 2 runs against Abbott and Cruz, with 2 double plays being decisive. The absence of Giancarlo Stanton is significantly felt. Thankfully, the bullpen, which cut off 3.2 innings, managed to curb the opponent's momentum.
Cincinnati
Frankie Montas
Frankie Montas (3 wins, 6 losses, 4.23 ERA) is aiming for his 4th win of the season. On the 29th in St. Louis, Montas pitched 6 innings, allowing 2 hits and 1 run but still ended up with a loss. He has continued his form of pitching 6 innings and allowing 2 or fewer runs in his last 2 games. Facing his former team, it will be crucial to overcome his struggles in day games where he has a record of 2 wins and 2 losses with a 4.57 ERA. In the previous game, Cincinnati's lineup scored 3 runs with 2 home runs off Rodon, but their hitting form is a concern despite the win. Notably, struggling against the Yankees' bullpen could be a disadvantage. The bullpen, which held 2.2 innings with 2 hits and 1 run, has issues as they cannot use their winning relievers in this game.
Comment
In this series, the Yankees' hitting issues have become a prominent topic. The current Yankees heavily rely on Judge. Nonetheless, Stroman is undeniably strong at home, while Montas has weaknesses in day games and the variable of playing in his former home ground. Moreover, the Yankees recently broke down Kevin Gausman, a pitcher very similar to Montas. The Yankees, ahead in starting pitching, are closer to victory.
