Albert Suarez (BAL) (3-0, 1.61 ERA) vs. Cody Poteet (NYY) (3-0, 2.14 ERA)
Albert Suarez of the Baltimore Orioles has become an invaluable member of their rotation, evidenced by an undefeated record and 1.61 ERA. Over 44.2 innings pitched, his whip of 1.05 illustrates impressive control, while his strikeout-to-walk ratio highlights his exceptional pitching acumen. Suarez’s ability to maintain such an impressively low ERA and limit home runs allowed (only 1 this season) is proof of his adept management of contact-heavy situations – something which will prove key against an aggressive Yankees lineup. His performance on the road adds another level of reliability, suggesting that Yankee Stadium might not deter his usual prowess. Consistency in inducing ground balls and managing pitch count will be keys to his potential success in this high-stakes matchup.
Cody Poteet from the New York Yankees boasts an unblemished record and 2.14 earned run average in 21 innings pitched this year, similar to his counterpart of Cleveland Indians’ Cy Young Award recipient Chris Sale. Poteet’s performance, marked by a 1.05 WHIP and limited hits and walks allowed, indicates his thoughtful yet effective approach on the mound. Unfortunately for Poteet against an Orioles lineup that excels at exploiting pitching errors it could lower strikeout count which may prove troublesome in their lineup. However, Poteet’s ability to limit home runs – having permitted just two this year – will be essential in restricting Orioles power hitters from getting too hot. At Yankee Stadium, Poteet must extend his innings while maintaining efficiency to combat the Orioles strategic offense.
