1. Aaron Judge (R) CF
2. Anthony Rizzo (L) 1B
3. Josh Donaldson (R) 3B
4. Giancarlo Stanton (R) DH
5. Gleyber Torres (R) 2B
6. Aaron Hicks (S) LF
7. Jose Trevino (R) C
8. Marwin Gonzalez (S) SS
9. Joey Gallo (L) RF
Cole coming off one of his best starts of the season without getting a win is probably going to be up for playing against his former team.

Scouting report on opposing starting pitcher Cristian Javier found on reddit:
Today, the yanks will face Righty Cristian Javier. He is a Fastball/Slider Pitcher. On the Season he has a 3.07 ERA. some nuggets i found about him: He throws 60 % 4sm Fastballs, both to lefties and to righties. Its a really good Pitch. It doesnt have above average Speed, but spins at an absolutely great rate. His Fastball is rated as the 17th most valuable Pitch in MLB this Season. Against Righties, the other 40 % of the time he will throw the Slider. Nothing special about that really. Against Lefties however, he will throw the slider only 18 % of the Time. He will work in a Knuckle Curve and a Changeup.
As a Righty, Javier is expected to have better stats against righties than lefties. But in his case the difference is pretty large. He allowed a .532 OPS to righties and a .723 OPS to lefties. Both OBP and Slugging is higher for lefties. The biggest difference i can make out is, that he doesnt strike lefties out as much as he does with righthanded batters. He has faced 126 LHB and 106 RHB but struck out 10 more righties than lefties (39 vs 29). So i expect a heavy Lefty Lineup this afternoon.
So why are his stats against lefties worse than the stats against righties? Well i would guess his Slider doesnt work as much against them (which is totally reasonable) and his Knuckle Curve just gets hit a lot. 20 % of his Hits against lefties are from the Knuckle Curve compared to the 11% Knuckle Curves thrown to them.
Also worth mentioning is that you really should be aggressive early in the AB against Javier. He has allowed a .726 OPS to all Batters who swung at the first Pitch and allowed a .588 OPS against all who took the first Pitch. Which is mostly explained with his allowed BA being really high on the first pitch: .450. So being aggressive early can be good today.
He wont really go all that deep into games. His OPS skyrockets once he surpasses 75 Pitches. So Dusty might be incentivized to take him out once he reaches 80 Pitches. If he doesnt, the yanks better take advantage of that.
He started his Season great and has been getting worse ever since. His allowed OPS and ERA in April was .557/1.35, in May it was .622/2.93 and in June so far it is .718/4.91. |

Looks like the trend for Javier is in the Yankees' favor according to the numbers from April through June. As to approach, on the one hand, the Yankees should swing early in the count, on the other hand, the more pitches the Yankees take, the more likely Javier may be gone by the middle innings, if he is normally removed around 80 pitches. |

I’d rather see us swing early and often and chase him in about three innings than try to rope a dope him and let him get far enough to set us up for the back of the Astros bullpen. The key is to get to their middle relief, which is not as strong… Solution: Sxore about 15 runs and not worry much after that… |
