The Yankees and Cubs are set to compete in a three-game series, a crucial matchup as the Yankees aim for improvement before the All-Star break. Both teams feature standout outfields, with the Cubs leading in outfield wins above average and the Yankees trailing closely behind. Each team will utilize an All-Star pitcher in the series, spotlighting Carlos Rodón for the Yankees, who holds a solid season ERA, and another in the Cubs lineup. This series serves as a vital test for the Yankees.
Carlos Rodón will draw the start in the series opener. The left-hander has performed well enough - with a 3.30 ERA and 127 strikeouts in 111.2 innings - to be listed on many All-Star snubs lists.
The Cubs lead all of baseball in outfield wins above average, with the Yankees close behind, while MVP candidates and sluggers dominate the lineups.
