- (#913) Kansas City Royals @ (#914) New York Yankees | UNDER | .
Michael Wacha (2-0, 0.43 ERA) vs. Cam Schlittler (2-1, 2.49 ERA) .
Through a few starts, this might actually be the best version that we've ever seen of Michael Wacha. He owns a 0.71 WHIP along with his fantastic 0.43 ERA. If we look at the numbers, Wacha has improved drastically over his time in the big leagues. He hasn't had an ERA above 3.90 in any of the past four seasons which is great for any pitcher.
On the other hand, Cam Schlittler has now become the best young pitcher on this Yankees pitching staff. He had an elite rookie campaign, posting a 2.96 ERA in 14 starts last season and has started off this year just as good, if not better. A strikeout machine, Schlittler should be able to dominate against a team that is averaging 3.42 runs per game which is bottom five in the big leagues this season.
Talking about scoring, both teams have struggled to put runs up so far, considering how good they are expected to be. NYY is averaging 4.53 runs per game this season and even though that seems like quite a bit, that's not even top 10 at the moment. I expect a pitchers duel to take place here today.
Burns' Prediction: 3-1 Yankees.
