The Yankees' offense has been an issue all year long. Despite last night's resurgence, Covers_Caley's MLB picks expect the Bronx Bombers to continue their struggles at the plate against Cristian Javier and the Astros' elite bullpen.
The Yankees bats finally broke out last night, and against Rays ace Shane McClanahan of all people. However, can they sustain that in tonight’s series opener against the Astros?
The Yankees rank dead last in batting average and 25th in OPS since the start of June. On top of that, they rank 27th in major leagues when it comes to OPS with runners in scoring position for the season. So, it’s no surprise that scoring has been an issue with this team. It’s not outstanding but Javier has allowed eight runs on eight hits over his last three starts. The encouraging part is opponents are hitting just .146 and he has struck out 21 batters in 16 2/3 innings over those three starts.
