It's a matchup of two of the best pitchers in the American League. Andy Pettitte and Jeremy Guthrie? Guthrie has allowed two or fewer runs in 9 of his 10 starts and should make the All Star team he has been so good. Meanwhile, Pettitte is coming off of a performance where, in his words, he "quit pitching" and just tried to throw the ball past hitters after he lost his confidence after a Matt Holliday 442 foot bomb of a home run. To me, that's kind of strange coming from a veteran pitcher with 190 career victories.
Fun fact for this game: Yankees have 573 career wins going for them in Pettitte (190), Clemens (349), and Wang (a mere 34). Baltimore has 75 wins between Guthrie (6), Bedard (32), and Cabrera (37). Gap would be even larger if Mike Mussina pitched in this series for the Yankees. Obviously though, I'd rather Wang be out there.
Lineups when they become available. Since the Yankees were off on a travel day yesterday, I would still assume that they would play their full lineup. We will see.
