Pitching Matchups for Oakland series

Here are the scheduled pitching matchups for the Oakland series Monday- Andy Pettitte vs Dana Eveland 7:00pm start Yes/ESPN Tuesday-CC Sabathia vs Brett Anderson-7:00pm start MY 9 Wednesday- Joba Chamberlain vs Josh Outman-1:05pm start YES The Yankees will hope that Andy Pettitte continues his strong start and Dana Eveland made one start against the Yankees last year losing. CC Sabathia will look to be more economical in his start, he had a 6.62 era against Oakland last year in three starts while with the Indians. Anderson is a 21 year old rookie who will be making his third career start. Joba Chamberlain will look to bounce back from his last start and Outman will be making only his seventh career start for Oakland. The interesting thing about this series is that all of Oaklands starters are lefties, with out A-rod and Nady being hurt the Yankees really take a hit with their righty power but Posada and Teixera are switch hitters as well as Nick Swisher so maybe the can counteract this. I don't know what Joe is thinking and I know he loves Brett Gardner but I would look at giving Melky a couple of starts in center and see if he can continue his hot hitting and if he does leave him in there as Gardner is struggling.
