I’ve been covering Yankee games here at PSA since 2017, and it seems like every year you get an inordinate amount of one pitcher’s starts. This year, that guy seems to be Clarke Schmidt, who it feels like I’ve covered half of his 25 outings this season. I think that means I’m reasonably qualified to tell us all what we should expect from Schmidt today, if his cutter and knuckle curve are on.
Schmidt will pitch into the sixth inning, allowing a pair of runs or so. He might not do anything that really jumps out in a rewatch, but other than a dreadful start against Atlanta a week ago, he hasn’t had a bad game since mid-May.
