It was meant to be nasty Nestor getting out there on the hill for the Yankees but the
00:08
mail coming across early today is that Nestor Cortez will not be a go for this one and a
00:14
sign of the times there for the starting pitcher.
00:17
It feels like he's really been up against the last couple of weeks, changes roles and
00:21
now there's more to come on the injury side of things.
00:24
Yeah, not great.
00:25
He was probably not going to factor in to like the early playoff rounds because I do
00:28
think he's outside their top three pitchers, but still just to have a quality veteran pitcher
00:33
in that lineup and active if you need them even in the middle innings would have been
00:36
a big deal.
00:37
And also today, you're probably liking it if you're Nestor Cortez.
00:39
Let me get out on the mound against a team that just clinched a playoff spot, maybe partied
00:43
a little bit last night, not as focused as they need to be today, but that's not going
00:46
to be the case.
00:47
So a tough game just got a little bit tougher here for the New York Yankees because if we
00:50
flip it over to the other side, Zach Gafflin has been really good.
00:53
I know my card today, last 60 days minimum of 20 innings pitched.
00:57
I got Zach Gafflin as number four out of 26 pitchers on my card.
01:01
If we're looking at his numbers, Dubsy, a 2.40 ERA over those 60 days and a 3.41 XFIP
01:07
number.
01:08
So now you start to say like, okay, well, you get another win if you're the Orioles,
01:12
keep the pressure on the New York Yankees.
01:13
And again, I say this once again, the Yankees are going to win this division.
01:16
They're going to win one of their final couple games.
01:19
But today looked like it might've been a shoe in, just got, as I said, a little bit tougher.
01:22
Gafflin's going to be the better pitcher on the mound tonight and maybe take a look at
01:25
that plus 120 price, but that might change as well once we find out who that Yankee starter
01:30
is tonight.
01:31
So you might have to wait a little bit longer on this handicap, but Gafflin, pretty good
01:33
pitcher.
01:34
You're going for the O's today.
