Total Base Race – New York Yankees/Boston Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox get a matchup against James Paxton, who enters this game with a 3.92 xFIP and a 3.88 SIERA. He has been at his worst against right-handed batters, though, allowing them to hit for a .242 average with a .468 slugging percentage and a .329 wOBA. He has also given up a .286/.513/.354 line to his opponents on the road this season. Mookie Betts has been playing at an elite level recently, posting a .395 average with a .860 slugging percentage and a 1.298 OPS over his last 10 games. He boasts eight extra-base hits (six home runs) over that span, as well. He enters this game with 50% hard hit and 34% fly ball rates to go along with a 94 MPH exit velocity over the last 15 days. Surprisingly, Betts has been slightly better against right-handed pitching in 2019, but his numbers against lefties this season are nothing to scoff at. J.D. Martinez is a player that has been at his best against left-handed pitching, bringing 0.198 wOBA and 0.313 ISO differentials against lefties into this game. He’s hitting for a .243 average with a .649 slugging percentage and a .997 OPS over his last 10 games. He has also recorded seven extra-base hits (four home runs) in those contests. Martinez boasts 40% hard hit and 37% fly ball rates with a 95 MPH exit velocity over the last 15 days, as well. Eduardo Rodriguez will be taking the mound for Boston. He has thrown well with a 4.30 xFIP and a 4.53 SIERA this season. He’s a reverse splits pitcher, but he has allowed right-handed batters to hit for a .254 average with a .385 slugging percentage and a .308 wOBA. Rodriguez is also due for regression in Boston, where he has looked outstanding. Aaron Judge has recorded a .250 average with a .600 slugging percentage and a .902 OPS over his last 10 games. He has posted six extra-base hits (four home runs) over that span. He enters this game with 47% hard hit and 50% fly ball rates to go along with a 94 MPH exit velocity over the last 15 days. Judge has also been at his best against left-handed pitching, as he brings 0.131 wOBA and 0.134 ISO differentials against lefties into this game.
