With Gerrit Cole, Nestor Cortes, and Luis Severino atop the rotation and a pair of starters in Jameson Taillon and Domingo Germán working out of the bullpen in the ALDS, the 2022 Yankees have placed a lot of emphasis on their starting pitching this October. The way this season has gone, this perhaps isn’t too surprising. Last night’s win notwithstanding, the bullpen has been beset by injuries and ineffectiveness of late, while the rotation has ranked among the league’s best this season (its 13.7 fWAR ranks 10th in baseball, and its 2.8 fWAR since September 1st ranks 7th).
