C.C. Sabathia has had success pitching on three days of rest in his career, so I expect him to pitch well tonight. New York has proven to be the better team in this series, and Alex Rodriguez is hitting very well in the playoffs. Scott Kazmir did not pitch well in his last outing against Boston, and New York has already faced him three times this season. He has pitched decent against them, but the Yankees hit him the hardest the last time they faced him, about a month ago. Kazmir also gave up five runs, while only striking out one batter, in his playoff start against Boston. I expect New York’s line-up to him hard in this game, with Sabathia limiting the Angels to just a few runs. Look for the Yankees to go up in this series 3-1.
