"The Yankees will go through the meat grinder over the next two weeks, with series against the Astros, Blue Jays and Red Sox. After a sweep of the Nationals, they have a golden opportunity to put up three or more wins this weekend against the Chicago White Sox, a team 29 games back in the AL Central. The White Sox have surpassed last year's win total already, with 48 this season, but this is a team the Yankees should slap around."
"The Yankees send both of their rookie righthanders to the hill in this four-game set, with Warren set to kick off the weekend. In many ways, he is having the most rookie pitcher season of all time, with a FIP 3/4 of a run lower than his ERA, but so many starts that fall into the Good or Dreadful category. He's coming off one in the latter, giving up five in four innings against Boston. He'll need to be better against the fairer Sox."
New York enters a challenging two-week stretch against the Astros, Blue Jays and Red Sox but has a favorable four-game set versus the lowly Chicago White Sox. The Yankees just swept Washington and can feasibly win three-plus games this weekend. Thursday pairs rookie Will Warren with Davis Martin; Warren's FIP sits well below his ERA and his outings oscillate between very good and dreadful, while Martin has allowed 17 homers in 112 innings. Friday matches Carlos Rodón against Yoendrys Gómez; Rodón has settled in with strong recent starts, while Gómez is attempting to pitch to contact and struggling.
