The Yankees are favored to win the AL at 2-1 and are 4-1 to win the 2019 World Series.

Pitcher Notes

Red Sox: Rick Porcello (5-7, 4.52 ERA)

After throwing two strong starts, Porcello allowed five earned runs in his last outing against the Blue Jays on the 23rd.

In that game, Porcello struck out just two over six innings, but did not allow a home run.

  • In June, Porcello has allowed a 4.75 ERA over 30.1 innings.
  • The Boston starter has allowed 41 baserunners in his 30.1 June innings.
  • Porcello continues to chew up innings as he’s thrown 94 pitches or more in his last six starts.
  •  

Yankees: Masahiro Tanaka (5-5, 3.21 ERA)

The Yankees’ starter has been great in his last two June starts, posing a complete game shutout against Tampa Bay and a two-run quality start against the Astros.

Tanaka has thrown 15 innings of two-run baseball, with 11 strikeouts in those last two outings.

  • Tanaka’s control is elite as he’s only issued 10 walks in his last 63 innings.
  • The Yankees’ righty has allowed 13 home runs this season.
  • Tanaka has struck out just 20 batters in his 27.2 innings in June, an uncharacteristically low strikeout rate for the right-hander.
