Zack Littell (3-6, 4.26 ERA) vs. Carlos Rodon (9-7, 4.63 ERA)

Zack Littell is the Rays’ most likely pitcher this Saturday with a miserable 3-6 win-loss record and an even worse 4.26 ERA to boot, meaning he has a lot to prove to help the team up its near-.500 season record. His 1.37 WHIP and 94 strikeouts in 101.1 genes depict a pitcher with potential, but maybe low on endurance. Perhaps an issue for Littell this season has been in able to give up 14 home runs and the Yankees are famous for hitting home runs.

On the other side, Carlos Rodon has a, what one can say, slightly unstable but very effective profile: 9-7 and 4.63 ERA. Higher strikeout number of 112 in 107 innings with his hit batter, which perfectly blends with the aggressive Yankees’ approach in the batter’s box. Despite having given 20 home runs, high K’s rates make him a great pitcher, moreover loosely lesser WHIP of 1.28, he could be invincible especially when playing at home.

Rays’ Offensive and Defensive Balance

The Rays have garnered a rather low batting average of .236, though they have a commendable pitching squad with a 4.2 ERA and 1.25 WHIP. They have only managed to score 86 runs in their home series, and this is low if they think of competing with the Yankees’ more robust defense.

Yankees’ Power Hitting and Pitching Edge

The Yankees seem to excel in the field with a batting average of .247 besides totaling 140 home runs, backed up by a muscle power of .426 via slugging. The performance of the pitching staff having 3.54 ERA and 1.21 WHIP proves their viscera to be equal and efficient both in prosecution and defense especially at the Yankee Stadium.
