New York at Los Angeles

This is the end of a 10-game road trip for the Yankees, and they've looked out of gas the last week, riding a five-game skid. The offense has been useless scoring two runs in each of the last four games...good luck against Jered Weaver!  This depleted New York offense is short on stars and production, 19th in runs scored, 22nd in on base percentage. Making matters worst is that first baseman Mark Teixeira hurt his wrist yesterday, and is flying back to New York. Lefty C.C. Sabathia is not throwing like an ace with a 4.43 ERA his last three starts. Even for the season his ERA is over four.  The Yankees are 1-4 in Sabathia's last five starts as a road underdog, and 3-7 in the team's last 10 road games against a team with a losing record. Sabathia has compiled a 6-8 record with a 4.22 ERA in 16 career starts against Los Angeles.  They face one of the best in Jered Weaver who is 6-2 in his career against far more powerful Bronx Bomber offenses than this one. The Yankees are 12-27 in the last 39 meetings in Los Angeles, so grab the home field against the road weary visitors. Play the Los Angeles Angels.
