Yankees hobbling
The New York Yankees have been missing several key players in their potent lineup since Opening Day. Yet, they continue to post victories. The Rays just seem to defy the odds each year. No big salary stars, but they contend for a postseason spot year after year because they play good fundamental baseball.
Friday’s starting pitchers are two of the biggest reasons these squads are in early contention for the AL East crown.
New York’s Domingo German has posted a 6-1 record so far in 2019. What is even more impressive than his record is his ERA and WHIP. German’s 2.35 ERA is one of the best in the Bigs, but his 0.89 WHIP is eye-opening!
As good as German has been, Tampa’s Tyler Glasnow has been better! Glasnow is a perfect 6-0 with an ERA of 1.47 and a WHIP of 0.86. These two are definitely early Cy Young contenders.
