Luis Gil (1-1, 4.01 ERA) vs. Corbin Burnes (3-0, 2.55 ERA)
Luis Gil does not have a solid performance so far for the Yankees with his 1-1 record and a 4.01 ERA. He’s compiled 24.2 innings pitched with 35 strikeouts, but his control has not been as strong as his strikeouts have been and he’s issued 19 walks. The game could come down to how well Gil is able to manage his pitch count and walk rate where especially against a high-powered Orioles lineup becomes very crucial.
However, on the bright side, Corbin Burnes of the Orioles has been brilliant with a 3-0; ERA 2.55. Not going to lie, his command has been top notch, featuring just 8 walks in 35.1 innings, and 35 punchouts. This is as demonstrated through his WHIP of 0.93, which is the lowest in the league, making him a big threat.
When Gil and Burnes go on the mound, they ear more influence on the game outcome due to their play. Not only does Gil have to do a good job limiting the number of walks he issues, but he also needs to throw quickly to keep the lifers of Baltimore down.
Yankees’ Offensive Analysis: Power at the Plate
The Yankees’ offense, with a .245 batting average and 34 home runs, also shows weaknesses as it has a power hitting approach. However, a closer look at their Sabermetrics shows they can slug .396 and have the ability to drive the ball, but evidence is weaker in regard to on-base percentage sitting at .335. Whether they can connect with Burnes or not will entirely hinge on their capacity to exploit scoring opens while operating outs.
Orioles’ Offensive Analysis: Slugging Their Way Forward
Despite their potential, the Orioles have already hit 41 homers and their batting average sits at .257. The .456 slugging percentage that ranks among the best in the league is a manifestation of their ability to drive in from the long balls. This technique of hitting home runs and walking may challenge Gil, who has been equally bad in giving up home runs and walks.
