Carson Fulmer (0-2, 3.69 ERA) vs. Nestor Cortes (5-9, 4.16 ERA)
The Angels’ Carson Fulmer, a starting pitcher, carries into this game an edgy season overview that shapes the game. His records at 0-2 win-loss and 3.69 ERA respectively seem to indicate there was more in his performances than met the eye. In spite of his commendable 1.15 WHIP and 63 strikeouts in 63.1 innings pitched, he will be challenged by the Yankees hitters who have demonstrated a capability to exploit the weaknesses of any pitching staff as well. The early control of the game by Fulmer could be crucial for the Angels.
On the other side, Nestor Cortes is seen as having experienced a “hot and cold” type of year with a record of 5 wins and nine defeats coupled with an ERA of about 4.16 at best. This has been depicted by Cortes’s overall figures so far; in fact, he has struck out 122 batters within a span of only 129 innings played with some ease while facing every two out of three hitters comfortably. However, what matters is how he will face up to these hitters when it counts most especially given they can determine which way this game will go.”
