In an exciting development, Vasquez, a talented 24-year-old right-handed pitcher, is set to make his first start of the season for the New York Yankees. This will mark his highly anticipated MLB debut, a moment that holds great significance for both Vasquez and his team. It’s worth noting that in the previous season, whenever Vasquez took the mound, he and his team were considered underdogs on the moneyline for each game. This adds an intriguing element to his upcoming start as he aims to make a strong impression and defy the odds once again.
