Marcus Stroman (7-4, 3.58 ERA) vs. Zach Eflin (5-5, 4.19 ERA)

Marcus Stroman is one such pitcher that has really done well for the Yankees this season both in terms of stamina and in terms of performance. With a 3.58 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over 100.2 innings, the game pressure and the capability to deny the opponents, likelihood of scoring is a key Stroman strength. Although he was generous and issued 45 walks and 15 home runs, he maintains a steady strike out crew of 76 which shows that he has the potential to avoid trouble in the crucial innings, which makes him to be an influence in this event.

On the other side of the scale, a markedly different pitcher presents the Rays’ Zach Eflin. With a 4.19 ERA and a somewhat better 1.15 WHIP through 92.1 innings, Eflin has been very inconsistent giving some very poor performances such as. 500 win-loss record. But seven unpowerful walks show that he can be really solid if he stays on the strike zone; 72 Ks confirm this statement. For Eflin, it shall be more of how he is going to contain the Yankees big batters and reduce their homers.

Yankees’ Strategic Slugging: A Closer Look

This powerful lineup, alongside a .330 On-base percentage defines the team’s capacity to constantly work opportunities to score. This proves again that they can perform very well under pressure on the road and had 26-22 ATS on the road alone.

Analyzing the Rays’ Tactical Play

Although the Tampa Bay Rays do not have a great season record, they definitely did not lack the tenacity, especially while playing at home. With the batting average .236 and 80 home runs, it is not as impressive as the Yankees’ offense. But their on-base plus .31) and slugging plus .370 are still moderate of a team that is indeed capable of clinching the championship. The Rays’ advantage of having home field play could be an edge, given that they performed better when it comes to the road, with a 22-19 record when it comes to the games against the spread.
