MLB Baseball New York Yankees 15-June-2006 10:05 AM PST Money Line for Game -171 C. Lee must start M. Mussina must start
2 unit play :scared
more to come
Thanks BA
stay tuned...been digging hard
playing big favs like this is certainly a resume' for "Fat Burger Flipper" but sometimes ya just gotta step up.
Mussina is an innings chewer...gotta believe we get 7 from him here...
Mario chomping at the bit...to close one down if necessary...see game log
Yanks 9-1 at home verus lefty starters...avg. 7.6 runs a game..
Lee hardly has the savy to turn that tide
6.75 ERA over last 3 app's
He is 1-2 with a 7.97 ERA in four career starts against the Yankees -- his worst ERA against any team -- and has lost both of his starts at Yankee Stadium, earning a 12.91 ERA. :scared
Now asked to go into Yankee Stadium on a Thurs. afternnon game w/ temps in the 70's
Clev has scored 1 run in 18 innings so far durning this visit to NY
Can Clev post a 5 or 6 spot today...Sure anything is possible.But that would be a major eruption given the last 2 games.Keeping Yanks at 5 today should be mighty tuff for Lee and relievers
If there is a down side to this matchup...this is it
But Mussina is 9-8 with a 4.74 ERA in 22 career starts against the Indians -- his worst ERA against any American League team.
But...this Clev. squad has not faced Mussina this season...
Well it's either back to the minus column or a small little pickup w/ a large fav..
Plus it's Italian nite at the "Old School."
glta......
