PREGAME NOTES:
- Yanks have lost 5 straight games and 9 of their last 10 when the opposing team scores first. Perhaps there's something to Michael Kay's glass jaw theory?
- Yanks have scored 2 runs or less a whopping 31 times this season in 92 games. That is so unbelievably bad and quite astonishing considering the talent they have on this team and regardless of the injuries.
- Joba Chamberlain is a lifetime 1-0, 3.86 ERA, 2.14 WHIP in 7 games (one start) against the Blue Jays. He is 1-0, 2.57 ERA, 1.49 WHIP in 7 starts since joining the rotation.
Roy Halladay is a lifetime 11-5, 3.03 ERA, 1.18 WHIP 28 games (26 starts) against the Yanks. But he is 8-2, 2.23 ERA, 0.95 WHIP in his last 14 starts against them.
