Probables
Mike Mussina vs. Josh Beckett
David Pauley vs. Chien Ming-Wang
Curt Schilling vs. Jaret Wright
Tim Wakefield vs. Randy Johnson
Tonight is the night. Beckett=Yankee Killer but Mussina=Yankee Messiah. Could we see another almost no-no from Moose? Moose is coming of one of his best starts, and Beckett one of the worst. Edge: Moose.
Pauley. Rookie. 1st game against the Yankees. Wang. Experienced groundball pitcher, 3-1 @ yankee stadium. Edge: Chien.
Schilling will get the edge in this next matchup, even though he got murdered in his last Yankee Stadium start, just because he faces "here's the goat suit, wear it" wright.
Edge: Bloody Sock.
Wakefield vs. Johnson. Neither? If wakefield gets run support, hes very good. But Johnson is back, at least his last two starts say so.
Edge: Big Unit
3-1 Yankees. Call me a homer. Lookout for Pauley vs. Wang, the lesser known pitchers have habits of pitching better. I'm guessing it'll be a good series, but with the Yankees on this tear, only good pitching can beat them.
