How Homer Bailey has a winning record this year is beyond me but he comes into this key game for both teams sitting at 12-8 with a 5.04 ERA with 119 strike outs and 47 walks as the Oakland A's literally pulled him off the scrap heap of Kansas City.

Yankees need wins just as badly as the A's do as the Yankees try to win home field advantage in the American League as they need every win they can get to keep pace with the Houston Astros who have one big thing the Yankees do not have and that is pitching. Yankees are 49-20 at home this season.
Yankees send Domingo German to the mound a guy who is their rookie of the year and always seems to come up big for this team when they need him to and usually on national T.V. as well last time out he showed the Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw who the man was in New York.
