Yankees' Cam Schlittler receives bold no-hitter prediction alongside Paul Skenes originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The New York Yankees are the top team in the American League this year so far, entering the month of May.

While Aaron Judge and Ben Rice are two big reasons why, the pitching staff is a huge reason for the success this season. And in the rotation, Cam Schlittler's emergence as an ace has helped the Yankees become even better than before. He's performing as well as ever, and could be in store for a great month of May.

Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer is predicting Schlittler will have a crazy May, as he was named alongside Paul Skenes and Tyler Glasnow as two pitchers who could throw a no-hitter this month. Cam Schlittler predicted to be 1-of-3 SP who could throw no-hitter in May "It's a solid environment for a no-hitter, and the smart money is on Paul Skenes, Tyler Glasnow, and Cam Schlittler," Rymer writes.

"The first two are expected batting average standouts, while Schlittler is just plain nasty. " In modern Major League Baseball, no-hitters are significantly rarer. Not only is a no-hitter hard on its own, but most pitchers rarely even get a chance to pitch into the eighth or ninth inning, let alone do so with a no-hitter on the line.
