New York Yankees @ Toronto Blue Jays u9.0
Tue Sep 23 ‘08 7:05p

Jesse Litsch (12-8, 3.72 ERA) the Blue Jays starter for this tilt against the Yankees, is in top form, as is evident by allowing just 10 runs in his last seven starts for a stingy 1.91 ERA. He seems to love pitching at home in the Rogers Center posting a 2.79 ERA on the season. Im betting his his red hot ways will continue tonight.

Meanwhile, veteran Mike Mussina(18-9, 3.57 ERA) will return fire for the Bronx Bombers . The Yankee right hander, is 7-2 on the road during his current campaign, along with a tight 3.53. With the former Stanford stand out, left with just two remaining starts on the season, including this outing, he will be primed to perform as he tries to reach the 20 point win plateau, for the first time his career.

Both these hurlers are supported by two of the better bullpens in the American League.

Despite of these teams possessing viable offenses, Im expecting the throwers to take center stage in what will be a low scoring pitchers duel.

Play Under
