New York Yankees: Pitching is Kryptonite So Far
MLB: Boston Red Sox at New York YankeesThe New York Yankees are definitely not off to their best start, as they sit 5-7 with a nine game homestand approaching. The Yankees are down just one reliever, but their all-star caliber bullpen has been awful so far.
3.97
That’s the current Yankee bullpen ERA. That’s about two earned runs per nine innings too high. With four all-star level pitchers healthy in Chad Green, Adam Ottavino, Zack Britton, and Aroldis Chapman, Ottavino has been the only one with success, an ERA of 1.29 in seven innings pitched.
Chad Green is the most worrisome of the four. His ERA is at nine and has already been charged with two losses, including one against Houston.
