Santana has more K's and a better WHIP, but has been hurt by the longball. He's allowed a whopping five in just 20.2 innings (2.2 per 9).

Several Yankees hit Ervin well: NJ (1.964 OPS), Jeter (1.331), Posada (.983) and Cano (.972).

On the other side, only two Angels hit Burnett relatively well, and both are catchers: Mike Napoli (1.326 OPS) and Jeff Mathis (.900).
