Game 14: Bring Your Brooms

By jscape2000

The Yankees go to their ace for the sweep, turning to CC Sabathia.

The A's look to Dallas Braden to stop their skid.

2010 - Dallas Braden 2-0 3 3 0 0 0 0 20.0 12 6 6 2 3 16 2.70 .75

Braden has been very good in the early returns, but he's faced M's, Angels and O's. The Angels plated as many runs against Braden (3) as the other two teams combined. The Yanks' lineup should be a real test.

Three things to watch:

  • The A's infield defense: the Yanks have recorded a ton of infield hits this series
  • The Bridge to Who?: Mariano and/or Joba may not be available tonight
  • The Yankee D: the Yanks have played brilliant defense both in execution and in range
