Fried is one of the leading contenders for the American League Cy Young Award. He leads the majors in ERA and is fifth in the AL with a .186 batting average against. The Yankees signed him to the largest contract in league history for a left-handed pitcher, exactly one week after Juan Soto finalized his megadeal with the crosstown Mets. Fried allowed six runs (two earned) in his Yankees debut, but has yielded a total of eight runs (seven earned) in his nine starts since then.

Freeland has allowed the second-most hits in the majors this season (71), behind only his teammate, Antonio Senzatela, who has yielded 84. He is coming off his second-best outing of the season, holding the high-powered Phillies offense to one run on seven hits Monday in 5 1/3 innings. Batters are hitting .514 against Freeland when they put the first pitch of an at-bat in play (18-for-35), which is the highest among qualified pitchers.
