Keys to the Game
Atlanta arrives at Yankee Stadium sitting six games ahead of New York in the standings. The Braves want to extend that cushion; the Yankees can’t afford to fall further behind. On paper, the pitching matchup tilts toward New York: Max Fried has been sharp all season — a 3.12 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP speak for themselves. Tyler Mahle, on the other hand, has struggled with a 5.13 ERA and 1.39 WHIP, which gives the Yankees’ lineup a real opportunity early.
