Yankees Lineup vs. Shane Baz (R)
Juan Soto and Aaron Judge present significant power threats against right-hand pitching, with Soto boasting a .417 wOBA and Judge a staggering .503 wOBA and .406 ISO, indicating potential early scoring opportunities. Ben Rice and Alex Verdugo add depth, despite Verdugo’s lower .269 wOBA, their combined performance suggests a challenging matchup for Baz, who has a WHIP of 1.33 and has yet to allow a home run in 6 innings pitched. This matchup leans towards favorable MLB odds for YRFI bets.
Rays Lineup vs. Nestor Cortes (L)
Against left-handers, the Rays lineup features Yandy Díaz and Isaac Paredes with solid wOBAs of .303 and .347, respectively, and Paredes with a notable .198 ISO, indicating potential for extra-base hits. Amed Rosario and Randy Arozarena add speed and contact, but their strikeout rates suggest Cortes, with a 23.2 K% and a WHIP of 1.08, might limit their on-base opportunities. Given Cortes’ effectiveness, NFRI odds could be more appealing in this matchup.
