Clarke Schmidt Getting The Ball Thursday
1 year agoNew York Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt will get the start Thursday night against the visiting Houston Astros. This marks the right-hander's 23rd appearance and 22nd start of the season while he has compiled a 4.39 ERA, 4.40 FIP, 4.23 SIERA, and a 15.5% K-BB% in that time. The good news is that he is pitching where he has been at his best this season as Schmidt owns a 4.01 ERA at Yankee Stadium this season, much better than his 4.91 mark on the road. Schmidt also owns a 5.1% BB% at home and an 8.2% BB% on the road. He will take on an Astros team that sits in a share of 18th with a .315 wOBA versus right-handed pitching on the season but recently got superstars Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez back from lengthy absences.
