Will Carlos Rodon Continue His Dominant Run In Game 3?

Will Carlos Rodon, who is now being thought of as an ace, continue his dominant run for the Yankees in their third game of the series against the rival Boston Red Sox? That is the question Yankees fans are asking before the a big game tomorrow.

Will the Yankees extend their lead in the American League East? Will the Yankees take the third game of this series against the rival Boston Red Sox? Rodon has a very favorable pitching matchup in Game 3, facing relative newcomer Hunter Dobbins. Do you think the Yankees will win the series against the Red Sox?

Will Carlos Rodon Continue To Pitch Like An Ace?

Rodon has been nothing short of amazing for the New York Yankees. Over Rodon’s last seven starts, he has pitched to a 5-0 record and a 1.65 ERA. Rodon struggled mightily through the first two years of his contract but is now thought of as an ace. He will take the mound in the series finale on Sunday and could be the difference between a series win. He faces a good matchup against Dobbins.

The Yankees need Rodon to be great, even though Will Warren was good, and the Yankees scored many runs for him. And although Ryan Yarbrough has been great since entering the Yankees’ starting rotation, just how long can New York depend on him? His run has been improbable. He had a difficult pitching matchup in game 2. Yarbrough went up against Garrett Crochet.

The Other Half of the Pitching Matchup

It may be easy to look past Dobbins. He is 2-1 with a 4.06 earned run average. Dobbins has given up 20 earned runs just more than 44 innings pitched. He will have his work cut out for him in this start against Rodon.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Is Back

In the three games since his return from the injured list, Chisholm Jr. has been fantastic at the plate and on the bases. He has gone 5-for-11 with a home run and 2 RBI while also playing solid third base. He also has three stolen bases in that time. He had the day off today for rest.

That is a small sample size, but Chisholm has been much better in his return from the injured list. That is very good for the Yankees. He elongates the lineup and shores up third base, which had been a black hole for the Yankees. He has returned with the mentality that this is a new season for him. He is taking advantage of it. It is rumored to be the case that the Yankees will be in the trade market for an infielder. That may not be the case if Chisholm plays this way.

Conclusion

This may very well be the rubber game of this rivalry series. Will the Yankees be able to win this series? They will win the game and the series if Rodon pitches like he has been pitching recently. He does have a favorable pitching matchup with Dobbins opposing him. The good news for fans is that the Yankees and Red Sox will play at Fenway next weekend. This balanced schedule is odd. The rivals did not play each other until June, and then they play each other twice in a week. At any rate, the Yankees are off on Monday.
