Texas Rangers:
- Batting: The Rangers’ batting lineup has been rather mediocre. Corey Seager and Marcus Semien are among the most reliable players, but the rest of the team has not matched their performance. However, Semien and Seager present significant hitting power, which the Yankees’ pitchers will need to consider. Seager stands out with a .278 batting average, while the team’s overall batting average is just .238, placing them in the lower ranks of the American League.
- Pitching: The Rangers’ pitchers have an ERA of 4.29, which is average, and several key players, such as Max Scherzer, are dealing with injuries. The bullpen has shown mixed results, particularly with José Leclerc and Jon Gray delivering more average performances. However, Kirby Yates has been outstanding, with a low ERA of 1.38 and a high strikeout rate of 12.9 SO/9.
New York Yankees:
- Batting: The Yankees’ batting lineup is stronger and deeper. Aaron Judge and Juan Soto have delivered outstanding performances, with Judge excelling in home runs (51 HR). Their batting average is better than the Rangers’, at .252, with significant hitting power. However, the team relies heavily on individual performances, especially from Judge.
- Pitching: The Yankees’ pitching has been more stable. Their ERA of 3.82 places them in the top third of the league. Starters like Nestor Cortes and Carlos Rodón have provided reliable performances, while the bullpen is also strong, particularly Clay Holmes (2.63 ERA) and Luke Weaver (3.33 ERA).
