Despite getting a good matchup in the hitter-friendly Rogers Centre versus an unproven pitcher, Yankees bats are very affordable this afternoon. They’ll face T.J. Zeuch, who posted a 3.69 ERA / 5.38 xFIP with a 2.1% K-BB in AAA. Zeuch supposedly excels at inducing weak contact, which makes sense given his low ERA despite a terrible K-BB%, as well as his ridiculously high groundball rates in the minors. Maybe that’s sustainable in the minors, but I’m not sure a 2.1% K-BB will play in the MLB, especially against the free-swinging Yankees. Aaron Judge (.373 xwOBA vs. RHP this year), Gio Urshela (.371), Luke Voit (.365), DJ LeMahieu (.362), Gleyber Torres (.342), Clint Frazier (.319), Brett Gardner (.316) and Didi Gregorius (.296) are all in play today vs. Zeuch. On Draftkings, all Yankee bats are $4.7k or less. With the exception of Aaron Judge, they are all less than $4.2k on Fanduel. LeMahieu (projected to leadoff, $3.8k on FD, $4.3k on DK) and Voit (projected to bat 5th, $3.7k on FD, $4.3k on DK) both stand out as great values. The Yankees currently have a 6.15 implied total, 2nd highest on the main slate.
