EDGE Analysis

On what was a particularly windy day, Odorizzi wasn't at his sharpest by any means, giving up a solo shot to Gary Sanchez in the first, along with an RBI double to Gleyber Torres and run-scoring single to Ronald Torreyes in the second.. The fact that the Yankees are Odorizzi's first regular season opponent did admittedly cause him to pitch a bit differently than usual, as he deployed his cutter for the first time and also focused on his slider while minimizing the use of his fastball and changeup. "When you face a team twice and they happen to be your opening day opponent, you don't tend to show them a lot of your go-to stuff," he said. "I was more focused on offspeed and just kind of putting that in their head a little bit. So show it, and once it's the season everything is a little bit different. I got my work in, that's for sure."
