Analyzing past games reveals a mixed bag for the Yankees. In their most recent encounters, they've shown a blend of strong pitching coupled with moments of offensive struggle. For instance, against Philadelphia Phillies, despite a loss where they managed only four hits and scored three runs, their bullpen showed signs of strength with an ERA standing at 5.4 over 6.2 innings pitched but struggled with control leading to a WHIP of 1.8.


Conversely, against Pittsburgh Pirates and Boston Red Sox in previous games, the Yankees' performance varied significantly - from being shut out by Boston due to limited offensive output (only five hits) to showing some resilience by scoring three runs on eight hits against Pittsburgh despite another loss on record.


One key aspect that might influence this game is how each team's bullpen performs under pressure. The Yankees' pitchers have shown they can rack up strikeouts but have also been prone to giving up critical hits in tight situations.


The venue itself could play into how strategies unfold during the game; CenturyLink Sports Complex is known for its unique dimensions that can either favor hitters or pitchers depending on weather conditions and wind direction on game day.


For fans looking forward to catching this intriguing matchup between two formidable teams, it will be broadcast live from Fort Myers at CenturyLink Sports Complex on March 13th at 1:05 PM Eastern Time. This encounter promises not just a test of skill but also strategy as both teams look to capitalize on each other's weaknesses while bolstering their strengths.
