There’s a reason the Yankees lead the league in runs per game and only have a record of 7-6. It’s starting pitching, or rather, the lack of it. Their starters have a 5.46 ERA, 1.45 WHIP. Even worse, if you take Max Fried out of the equation, those numbers balloon to 6.95, 1.57. Warren has a 6.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, with the Yankees losing both of his starts, including to a terrible Pirates team when they were -155 favorites. SF has won both of Hicks’ starts and he sports a 2.38 ERA and .88 WHIP. The Giants are off to a nice 10-3 start and have already swept the Astros and Mariners, as well as putting a 9-1 beatdown on NY last night in just six innings.
