2 Things will happen...
#1 The Red Sox will not let Pettitte get into a groove like they did in the first 3 meeting against him this year. In the 4th meeting they came out swinging the bats and touched him up for 7 runs in 2+ innings. I see the same approach tonight as I strongly feel Pettitte is a guy that needs to throw strikes early in the count for his off-the-plate stuff to be effective. In the last meeting the Sox jumped on a lot of First Pitches. Like Mussina, Pettitte needs and 0-1, 1-2 count to get hitters to help him. Mussina got into trouble last night because he wasn't getting the calls on the Black of the Plate. Thank you Questec. Andy will have the same trouble. Wheras Derek Lowe is usually in the Strike Zone and relies on downward movement within the strike zone to get ground ball. You'll see a lot of pitches start up and in to lefties/up and away to righties then tail down and away/down and in.
#2 If history repeats itself again, the value is in the Red Sox +1.5 runs (-115) just as it was last night. Lowe was 1-1 at Yankee Stadium and received run support of 5 and 10 runs. Versus the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium Pettitte was 2-1 with run support of 3, 7, and 11. With starts coming against Burkett(win), Bruce Chen(win), and Pedro(lost).
While Lowe beat Wells and lost to Mussina. Lowe is 3-1 versus Yanks just as Pettitte is 3-1. All signs also point to OVER but I'll take runs instead.
The outcome of this game should be known by the 3rd inning tonight just as it was last night. If Lowe is having trouble getting ground balls and keeping the ball down we're in trouble. You know the Yankees can't afford to pull out the stops against Lowe as far cutting the infield grass short, or tamping down the dirt in front of home plate because Pettitte relies on ground ball out just as much as Derek. Should be a good matchup. I wouldn't touch the over cause if both guys are on there will be a lot of quick ground ball outs.
