Garrett Crochet looks like he’s the subsequent great pitcher in the most important leagues, and he gets his first taste of the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry on Saturday night.
In a primetime affair on Fox, the Red Sox opened as favorites to win the sport, with the Yankees sitting as slight underdogs with Ryan Yarbrough on the hill.
Crochet has been utterly dominant for the Red Sox in one among their few shiny spots during a disappointing season.
Crochet is among the many Cy Young favorites within the American League, coming in with a 1.98 ERA and a 5-4 record with 101 strikeouts in only 82 innings pitched.
He’s been superb for a disappointing Red Sox team that has a team total ERA of 4 (eleventh worst in baseball).
Whether Crochet can actually help the Red Sox snag a win on Saturday will likely depend upon how deep he can pitch into Saturday night.
Fangraphs projects that the Red Sox have been a bit unlucky to be sitting at 30-34 through 64 games this 12 months, but additionally they aren’t expecting a giant change for the last 98 games, as they project Boston to go 49-49 the remaining of the way in which.
A 79-83 record just isn’t what manager Alex Cora was expecting coming into this season after they landed difference-making pitcher Crochet together with Walker Buehler and third baseman Alex Bregman.
Up thus far, they’re scoring 4.73 runs per game, the sixth-best mark in all of baseball, but are also allowing 4.53 per game, which is the eighth worst.
They need to win nearly every start that Crochet plays in, but they are only 7-6 in his starts this season.
