Kenny G suggests fading Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt, casting doubt on his effectiveness coming fresh off a shoulder injury. Schmidt's return and first start of the year create concerns about rust, workload limitations, and potential inefficiency. Despite having dominant overall offensive numbers (ranked second in majors in runs scored, first in slugging percentage), the Yankees’ recent struggles and low scoring in the first two games against Kansas City amplify Kenny's skepticism around Schmidt being ready to succeed immediately against a promising Kris Bubic and a Royals team that's motivated for a breakthrough win. Given these dynamics, Kenny is decidedly bearish on Schmidt and urges caution to anyone considering backing the Yankees at minus 162 odds.
