Cristian Javier Aims For More Dominance Against Yankees
9 months agoHouston Astros starting pitcher Cristian Javier takes the hill for Thursday's start against the New York Yankees. Since an eight-run shellacking by the Texas Rangers on July 3, the 26-year-old is still mostly treading water with a 4.32 ERA across his prior three starts (16.2 innings). Perhaps a date in the Bronx offers a potential elixir for Javier's recent troubles; the right-hander sports a microscopic 0.60 ERA in 15 frames covering three appearances against the Yankees since 2021. Javier has given up only three hits to the Yanks in his career and notably fired seven no-hit innings to help complete a combined no-hitter at Yankee Stadium on June 25 of last season. Season-long fantasy managers should consider firing up Javier with some form of confidence for Thursday's matchup.
