The Yankees offense is firing on all cylinders and hope to get their star third baseman back into the lineup for the second game of this series.

Aces are wild in a rematch of last year’s World Series tonight in the Bronx
Philadelphia Phillies at New York Yankees
Philadelphia stumbles into this rematch of the 2009 World Series with a discouraging 8-16 mark since May 17, which is the second-worst record in the National League over that span. The offense has averaged just 2.5 runs per game over the timeframe, which is actually the worst in baseball. 2B Chase Utley will look to break out of a long slump, managing to produce just a .153 average and no home runs since May 20. The Phillies have historically had problems during interleague play and its no different this year. Philadelphia is 2-4 (-310) against the American League this season and 18-32 (-1,790) over the last three years. The club is also a disappointing 5-9 (-1,020) against left-handed starters, after going 72-50 (+700) versus southpaws the past three years.

The Rays have come out of their little slump, when they lost eight of 13 games. They have won five of their last eight and still seem to be the team to beat. Rookie catcher John Jaso has provided some unexpected offense, hitting .307 and getting on base a lot.
A tremendous pitching matchup is set for Sunday’s contest, with both teams looking to capture the series.
New York Yankees at New York Mets
The New York Yankees look to capture the series on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball, with the team coming in with a 10-3-1 series record during the season. The Yankees have compiled a 7-7 series finale mark in 14 opportunities in 2010. Offensively, New York left 13 runners on base in its fourth loss in five games and the first three hitters in the lineup were 0-for-13 on Saturday. Facing a left-handed pitcher will cause little concern for the Bronx Bombers, producing a 9-6 record against them this year (+110) and have gone a dominating 74-48 over the last three years (+480). Betting the Yankees in May has been a losing proposition, with the team just a game over .500 (-320).

The Mets look to breakthrough with their first Subway Series victory at Citi Field against the Bronx Bombers
New York Yankees at New York Mets
The New York Yankees picked up a 2-1 road victory over their Subway Series rivals on Friday night. In winning five straight over the Mets (+500), the Yankees have outscored them by a 35-4 margin. The starting rotation has led the charge during the current streak, posting a 5-0 record and 0.84 ERA. One key trend that ended with the opening series victory was the Yankees’ streak of winning games by more than a single run. They won each of their first 25 games by two runs or more. New York has compiled a 7-3 record in its last 10 road games in interleague play (+240).
Today we take a look at what should be 2 of the best games of the day.
Tampa Bay Rays at New York Yankees
Tampa Bay travels to the Bronx in an unfamiliar role this late in the season, carrying an MLB-best record of 28-11 (+1,014) into this series. To put the current record in perspective, the Rays didn’t win their 28th game of the 2009 season until June 4 (56th game). The Rays are 1-2 against the Yankees in 2010, losing the series at Tropicana Field in April. Overall, the team has dropped 10 of the last 15 meetings, including seven straight at Yankee Stadium. Their fortune may change in New York this time around, carrying an impressive 15-4 road mark (+1,050) into this division battle.
1. There’s an article today on ESPN that suggests that Notre Dame is going to go 11-1 and return to the BCS this year. Apparently they aren’t kidding, either. I’m not sure I have ever read anything more stupid. They are returning a bunch of players and all, but it’s not like they are returning BCS caliber players or anything. Experienced garbage is still garbage. Eight or nine wins is believable, but 11 is a joke – even against the puffball schedule they have given themselves this year.
For the next two weeks I’m going to be away from my computer and out of town. That means that I have pre-written the stuff you will read for the next two weeks, and that in turn explains why it won’t be nearly as news-driven or current as it usually is. Hopefully, though, it’s still going to be interesting and worthwhile. I’ll be focusing on two main events – the NFL Draft the first week, and the Kentucky Derby the second week – and I’ll throw in some other stuff as well.
This year has certainly brought its share of surprises. I don’t know if they did the same to you, but here are ten things that caught me off-guard.
Chicago Blackhawks and Boston Bruins: Okay, am I dreaming or what? Neither of these teams could do anything right over the last decade or so and now the Blackhawks are in the playoff hunt and the Bruins are at the top of their division! Got to love long time AHL goalie Tim Thomas who made it to the bigs just a few seasons ago with the Bruins. He’s one guy who has gotten better with age.
Okay, 2009 is feeling kind of strange and I’ve got some questions about what’s going on. There have been some weird deals, odd decisions and bizarre behavior.
