New York Yankees starting pitcher Michael King will take the mound on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers. King has pitched to a 2.29 ERA in 19 2/3 innings, though his 1.22 WHIP, 4.60 expected ERA, and 43.2 percent hard-hit rate paint a different picture. Still, the 26-year-old will have a chance to make his case […]
