The New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox will continue
their three-game set this week inside Yankee Stadium with the middle game of
the series. Tonight the Yankees will send Lance Lynn to the mound to face off
with James Shields for the White Sox. Three days until the August 31st
revocable waivers trade deadline, so let’s get to it here in the Bronx.
Lynn was once thought of by Yankees fans as a huge
acquisition by Brian Cashman at the trade deadline, then reality hit, and Lynn
started pitching to the back of his baseball card… just like I said that he
would. In Lyn’s last 9.1 innings pitched the Yankees right-hander has allowed
10 runs. Not the ace Yankees Facebook groups made him out to be, huh?

Shields has been home run prone this season and that continued
in his last start against the Detroit Tigers. Shields allowed three home runs
in one inning against the Tigers in a loss. Shields did go at least six innings
for the 22nd time this season though, which is a silver lining for
Chicago if they were looking for one.
The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium
and can be seen on the YES Network. You can also follow along with the game on
MLB TV, with the MLB At-Bat app and by tuning into the Yankees radio broadcast
on WFAN with John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman.
