If you’re at all like me, you check the MLB.com Probable Pitchers page just about every morning. I have a pretty good handle on who the Yanks are usually starting, but with today’s crop of stellar pitching, you never know when something special might happen.
Yankee fans, this could be one of those days (maybe take a very, very late and long lunch?). The returning James Paxton faces off with San Diego Padres phenom Chris Paddack in a marquee duel of high-strikeout hurlers. Paxton, of course, has already racked up two 12-strikeout turns this season and famously punched out 17 in a start last season.
