Following a victory on Friday, the Atlanta Braves will look to secure a series win against the New York Yankees on Saturday.
Left-hander Joey Wentz is slated to start for Atlanta. Originally drafted by the Braves before a 2019 trade, Wentz has performed near a replacement level since his 2022 MLB debut. Control issues and a vulnerable fastball have been persistent challenges, but he showed promise in his recent return to the team, striking out six batters over three innings. In that outing, he relied heavily on his cutter, which generated numerous swings and misses despite his overall command struggles.
The Yankees will counter with Will Warren, who has shown signs of a capable major league starter, though he also has a history of issuing walks. In 118 career innings, Warren has posted a strong 10.75 strikeouts per nine innings. He features a five-pitch mix, led by a four-seam fastball from a low arm slot. His secondary pitches—a sweeper, changeup, sinker, and curveball—possess significant movement but have yielded mediocre results against major league competition.
