The Yankees’ offensive power doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
The game’s best hitting team used a disciplined approach to the plate to get on base using every tool possible to take a commanding lead in the American League East.
As of Saturday’s game, the Yankees were tied with the Dodgers for the league-best weighted-runs-created plus (wRC+) at 123.
Marcus Stroman continues to pitch consistently for the Bombers.
In his last appearance, he gave up four hits in 5 2/3 innings in a 10-1 victory over Kansas City.
That’s roughly on par with his 5-2 record.
Stroman has scored at least four points in 10 of his 14 starts and has received plenty of scoring support from the offensive line.
He’ll face an underrated Red Sox lineup on Sunday that ranks 13th overall in wRC+.
Boston was projected to finish last in the division, but some timely hitting had them teetering on a .500 winning percentage in mid-June.
Jarren Duran is enjoying his debut party in 2024 as Boston’s leadoff man.
He is averaging 1.91 runs per game and leads the MLB with 10 triples.
Also factor in Duran’s overall base-hitting prowess, as he hit .343 against right-handed pitchers at Fenway.
