The starting pitching has been dreadful so far this season, with Freddy Garcia and his 9.75 ERA across three starts being one of main reasons why. He’ll make his fourth start of the season this afternoon against rookie southpaw Drew Smyly, and we all know the Yankees seem to struggle against young left-handers they’ve never seen before, at least anecdotally. Hopefully when you have two locks like this — Garcia getting pounded and Smyly shutting the offense down — they cancel each other out and we get a favorable outcome. It’s science. Here’s the lineup…
DH Derek Jeter
RF Nick Swisher
2B Robinson Cano
3B Alex Rodriguez
1B Mark Teixeira
CF Curtis Granderson
LF Andruw Jones
C Russell Martin
SS Eduardo Nunez
RHP Freddy Garcia
Today’s game starts a little after 4pm ET and can be seen on YES, not FOX. Enjoy.
