The final three games before the All-Star break will be a big challenge with the Yankee-killing Angels in town. Fortunately, the rotation is setup perfectly with the Yanks' three best guns on the hill.
Andy Pettitte has had very good success against the Angels (11-6, 3.79 in 20 starts), but has not faced them since 2003. Bartolo Colon has struggled against the Yanks throughout his career (4-5, 5.32 in 12 starts).
Johnny Damon has been moved to LF while Melky Cabrera stays in CF. A-Rod is back in the lineup after his MRI came back negative. Good thing too, because he has downright owned Colon (20-45, .444, 8 HR, 17 RBI) during his career.
