James Shields has owned the Yankees since becoming a member of the Royals in 3 starts he posts a 1.29 ERA. Over the last 3 years he's dominated the month of August with a 2.67 ERA and that holds true this year where he has a 2.17 ERA thus far. He comes into this start facing the Yankees who have scored just 2.94 runs per 9 vs. RHP over their last 10 games on extra rest. In 4 home starts on extra rest this season he has a 1.24 ERA. The Royals are 35-16 in his last 51 starts.

Michael Pineda starts for the Yankees in his 3rd GS since coming off the DL. This start is on 4 days rest and he's already not being pushed so I believe the Yankees bullpen is going to be asked to do too much in this one. The bullpen has already been struggling posting an ERA over 6 over the last 10 games.
