PREGAME NOTES:
- Joe Girardi has decided to stack the lineup with righties today against Oliver Perez. Unfortunately, that translates to perhaps the weakest lineup the Yanks have sent out there all season. Lots of pressure on the top four hitters to get it done because there are quite a few automatic outs in the bottom five.
- The visiting team has won every game of the Subway Series through the first five games.
- Darrell Rasner is a lifetime 0-1, 0.00 ERA, 0.00 WHIP in one career start against the Mets. He is a dismal 1-5, 6.00 ERA, 1.61 WHIP over his last 6 starts.
Oliver Perez is a lifetime 4-1, 2.88 ERA, 1.25 WHIP in 5 starts against the Yanks. He is 1-2, 6.75 ERA, 1.76 WHIP over his last 7 starts.
