New York Yankees
Sabathia was kind of efficient in his last outing, but he walked away with a no-decision as New York would later go on to take down the Kansas City Royals 5-4.
He went 4.2 innings giving up six hits, two earned runs, and one home run while he struck out eight and walked two.
In 104.2 innings of work, the veteran owns an okay strikeout (7.31 K/9) to walk (2.67 BB/9) rate, while he has also done a solid job stranding baserunners (76.4 LOB%).
He could work on containing the long balls (1.29 HR/9).
The end-result is a solid 3.53 ERA, but his high 4.55 FIP tells us he has been lucky and is getting solid defense.
