AL East-leading Yankees pay a visit to Chase Field
Baseball Betting Lines
06/21/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Yankees are back in familiar territory atop
the American League East standings and own baseball's best record. They will
try to maintain both tonight in the opener of a three-game interleague series
against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field.
While the Tampa Bay Rays struggled with the Florida Marlins this weekend, the
Yankees took two of three meetings against the crosstown rival Mets in the
Bronx and posted a 4-0 victory in Sunday's series finale. Mark Teixeira's
grand slam in the third inning was all ace CC Sabathia needed to push his
record to 8-3 this season. The big lefty fired eight scoreless innings and
limited the Mets to four hits with six strikeouts and two walks.
"I felt pretty good out there. I wasn't thinking 'If you get me a run, the
game's over' or anything like that," Sabathia said after winning his fourth
straight start. "I felt like once we had the lead I was confident enough to
keep pounding away, hitting the strike zone."
Derek Jeter shook off a heel injury to record two hits and Jorge Posada ended
2-for-4 with a double for the Yankees, who are one game ahead of both Tampa
Bay and Boston in the AL East Division. New York has won two straight after a
three-game slide and nine of its last 13 contests. It will also visit former
manager Joe Torre and the Los Angeles Dodgers on this interleague trek.
Yankees All-Star second baseman Robinson Cano went 0-for-3 on Sunday, but
still leads the major leagues with a .367 batting average. He entered
yesterday's game hitting .440 with eight doubles, five homers and 21 runs
batted in since May 26.
A.J. Burnett could use some of that firepower when he takes the mound in the
desert tonight. Burnett has lost three straight starts and is only 2-5 with a
6.36 earned run average in his last eight appearances. He previously pitched
in last Wednesday's 6-3 loss to Philadelphia and gave up all six runs on six
hits and four walks over a season-low 3 1/3 innings.
Burnett, who has given up at least four runs in each of his last three trips
to the hill, is 3-3 in eight road starts this season. The righty will make his
sixth career start against the Diamondbacks and is 3-2 with a 3.67 ERA over
the first five encounters.
Arizona probably can't wait for interleague play to be over as it has lost
five of the last six contests against the American League. After losing all
three meetings in Boston, the D'Backs dropped two of three games in Detroit
over the weekend.
In a 3-1 setback on Sunday, Ian Kennedy was saddled with the loss for
permitting all three runs in the seventh inning and six hits, including two
homers, over 6 2/3 frames.
"This was very, very, very frustrating to say the least," Kennedy said on the
team's website.
Chris Young drove in the lone run for Arizona, which is last in the National
League West standings at 13 1/2 games off the lead. Rusty Ryal had two of the
four hits for the D'Backs.
Rodrigo Lopez has the pleasure of welcoming the Yankees to the Valley of the
Sun and will make his 15th start of the season Monday. Lopez has lost three
straight starts and is winless in his last four decisions. He is just 2-6 with
a 4.70 ERA this season and was pummeled at Boston the last time out on
Wednesday, giving up six runs and 10 hits in seven innings.
Lopez, who has lasted at least seven innings in four straight outings, picked
up his last win on May 15 at Atlanta. He is 1-3 in seven home starts in 2010
and has had plenty of experience against the Bronx Bombers. In 24 career
matchups (20 starts) with New York, the right-hander is 8-8 with a 5.90 ERA.
The Yankees are 7-2 all-time in regular season games with Arizona and swept a
three-game series in the Bronx the last time these two clubs squared off in
2007. The Yankees outscored the D'Backs, 18-4, in those games. Arizona, of
course, beat New York in seven games to win the 2001 World Series.
New York is 140-100 in interleague play, while the D'Backs are 87-109.
