It would be nice if Girardi could find a way to break up the two lefties in the rotation. I don't know for a fact that seeing the same handed pitcher on consecutive days is detrimental, but common sense says it is.
Our best pitcher, CC Sabathia, goes for the sweep against Jason Vargas ('Vargas!'), who missed all of last season due to a torn hip labrum (um... you hear that, Alex?).
Sabathia hasn't faced the M's since 2007, but has done well against all their hitters (OPS under .754) except Ichiro (1.132 OPS). He's been great in his last three starts (16.1 ip, 2.81 ERA), so let's hope that continues.
Vargas has never faced any Yankee hitter, and has sucked in his last three starts (16.1 ip, 7.16 ERA), so let's hope that continues.
