In his last start, he allowed 6 ER, 3 HRs, and 1 BB with 3 Ks on 7 hits through 5 IP against the Boston Red Sox. 

The current betting odds have the Yankees listed as a favorite in this game. They have not been playing very well in their recent games as they have been losing a lot of games over the last week. They just lost their last series to one of the worst teams in the MLB, the Cincinnati Reds, and they were at home for that series. They are playing the Red Sox at home here though and this is a series that they will get up for with their rival coming into town. They played in Boston just last week and split the series so the Yankees will be looking to not only bounce back here, but win the series over the Red Sox. Their offense has still been great in their games, it has been their pitching that is letting them down but Taillon leads the team in wins here and he should pitch well here. Pivetta is starting for the Red Sox and he has been very bad in his last 2 starts allowing a lot of runs. The Yankees are at home here, they are in a little slump but this is still the best team in the MLB right now with their record. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game.

"Bullpen-wise we were limited. He was throwing the ball well so we rolled the dice with him. It was kind of like Kutter, Schreiber, (closer) Tanner (Houck), but is just didn't happen." - Alex Cora after his team’s loss against the Rays on Thursday.

 

 

 

"He's one of the best pitchers in the league. He just didn't leave too many mistakes for us to hit. When you have 100 (mph) and you're painting the corners, that's in for a tough day." - Aaron Judge on Castillo after their loss against the Reds on Thursday.
