With Clayton Kershaw looking less than 100%, we go back to the well by fading him against the San Diego Padres elite offense as he struggled with keeping opposing runners out of scoring position in his debut. Before that takes place, we focus on the matchup between the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies as both top of their orders are in a position to open up the scoring early in their contest.

It was a rollercoaster of a debut for the former Cy Young winner as Kershaw finished the contest with an ERA of 4.50, a WHIP of 2.00, 6 Total Strikeouts, 6 Hits Against, and 2 Earned Runs Allowed. Not a disastrous performance, yet one that is far below his former level of play. His struggles are poised to continue as the Padres offense ranks above league average in Team Total Hits, RBIs, Total Runs Scored, and On Base Percentage.
Even without Fernando Tatis Jr in the top of their batting order, the Padres offense boasts enough depth to mask his loss of production. Luis Arraez has continued to terrorize opposing pitchers with his elite contact ability, battling it out with Bobby Witt Jr for the most Hits this season. Arraez is then followed by Jurickson Profar, Jake Cronenworth, and Manny Machado, who all possess elite power that can punish any errant throw.
Speaking of elite offenses, the Los Angeles Dodgers continue to rank near the top of the board in the same previously mentioned offensive metrics. Even without Freddie Freeman, current NL MVP betting favorite Shohei Ohtani and speedster Will Smith are more than capable of opening up the scoring early with their elite blend of power and contact ability.
Every bit of their offensive production will be needed against the Padres Dylan Cease as he continues to burn past opposing batters with a high Strikeout Rate. Entering Wednesday night’s contest against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Cease takes the mound with an ERA of 3.50, a WHIP of 0.985, FIP of 3.04, 168 Total Strikeouts, 89 Hits Against, and 51 Earned Runs Allowed.

Well before our first YRFI kicks off, we focus on the afternoon matchup between the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies. Both units have been going through a cold stretch the past few weeks of play, now getting the opportunity to round back into form against two regressing pitchers. It’s especially vital for the Yankees to build some momentum after they conceded their lead for first place in the AL East to the Baltimore Orioles.
Should the Yankees want to round back into form, then their vaunted top of the order will need to apply pressure to opposing defenses by opening the scoring early. With Juan Soto and Aaron Judge, the Yankees are capable of doing just that against the Phillies Cristopher Sanchez as he struggles with punching opposing batters out. Sanchez takes the mound with a WHIP of 1.261, 91 Total Strikeouts, and 115 Hits Against in 20 games played.
On the other side of the field, the Yankees trot out Nestor Cortes who has steadily regressed since a hot start to the year. After looking like a viable starting option, Nestor’s struggles with limiting opposing scoring opportunities have crept back up after a sluggish stretch of play. Entering the contest against the Phillies, Cortes takes the mound with an ERA of 4.13, a WHIP of 1.206, a FIP of 4.00, 124 Hits Against, and 57 Earned Runs Allowed.
