Yankees vs Red Sox 7/8/22 Preview, Nasty Nestor Takes The Mound

by Felix Pantaleón

The Yankees squeaked out game 1 behind dominant bullpen pitching from Abreu, King and Holmes. We all loved them beating up on the Red Sox Rookie Winckoski. So what’s on tap for game 2?

For the Yankees they are throwing out LHP (Nasty) Nestor Cortes, He boasts a 7-3 record, 2.44 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 91 K’s, and 13 walks in 85 IP. They are very confident behind Cortes in this rotation.

The Redsox, RHP Connor Seabold. He boasts a 8.31 ERA, a gross WHIP over 2 and 2.08, just 11 K’s, and 3 walks in 8 IP.

On the offensive side both Judge and Rizzo should be back for the Yankees, while the Red Sox have no light at the end of the tunnel as they are struggling offensively outside Devers, whom many around the League think he’s going to bolt in FA.

The Yankees look to continue to pile on their lead in The AL East. The Red Sox are now 15 games back, will it be 16?
