Yankee starting pitchers have been lights out lately. But there’s also reason to believe Taillon could be due for some positive regression. His xERA (3.59) and xFIP (3.86) are much lower than his actual numbers, and his strikeout rate is way up (28.7% in 2021, 19% in 2019). The whiff rate on his fastball and changeup are way up from his numbers in 2019, as well. I can see the streak continuing today. The offense managed to get things going on Saturday, and Over the course of the season, Yankees relievers, meanwhile, pace the league in WHIP (1.03) and are second in FIP (3.31). If the Yankees hope to compete for a title in 2021, it’s the pitching staff that will get them there. Aaron Judge has returned to MVP form, entering this game on a five-game hit streak. I'm backing the Yanks at home to finish the sweep here on Sunday afternoon.
