Felix Hernandez isn’t having the best season of his illustrious career but Seattle Mariners fans have grown to expect big things from King Felix when he faces the New York Yankees. Hernandez is 10-6 with a 3.13 ERA in 20 career starts against the Bronx Bombers, including an impressive 2.60 ERA in his past eight. Hernandez and the Mariners will open a four-game set with the Yankees at Safeco Field on Thursday.
Pitching opposite Hernandez will be Luis Severino. The righty has come back to earth a bit after a blistering start to the season, as Severino has posted a 3.96 ERA since the beginning of June compared to a 2.93 mark through the first two months. Despite allowing a few more runs per game, Severino has continued racking up strikeouts with at least 7 Ks in 11 of his 18 outings.
Yankees fans will likely see several new faces in the lineup after the team acquired Todd Frazier, David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle from the Chicago White Sox. The Yankees hope the trade will help boost a squad that has gone 3-4 while averaging 2.9 rpg since the all-star break.
