After a rainy series loss against the Los Angeles Angels, the Yankees are hosting another American League West foe, the defending World Series champion Texas Rangers.

With the Yankees in an ultra-tight battle for the American League East crown, every game is a big one, so Aaron Boone will have to get creative managing this one after a Saturday doubleheader.

With the two bullpens likely to have high usage Saturday, both managers will hope to be able to lean on their starting pitchers on Sunday.

For the Yankees, that’s Marcus Stroman, who is ice cold.

He has allowed 12 runs in his past two starts across just six innings of work — all but erasing a very promising start to the year.

Stroman will be facing a former Yankee, Andrew Heaney.

It’s been an uneven campaign for the veteran lefty, and his Statcast metrics imply that he’s getting a bit lucky (other than his newfound ability to avoid walking batters).

After a strange few days, New York’s offense should be ready to get back to the strong form it showed through the early stages of August.

On the other side of things, it’s impossible to trust Stroman now; even though not every start has been a total clunker like the past two, he’s allowed three or more runs in eight of his past 10 starts.

Expect the pitchers to struggle en route to a fun offensive game.
