This three-game series between the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies was always going to be intriguing. The pitching matchup in Tuesday night’s opener at Yankee Stadium makes it even more so. Both teams will have their aces on the mound in this rematch of last year’s World Series when the Yankees turn to CC Sabathia and the Phillies counter with a pitcher very familiar to New York in Roy Halladay. The Yankees ended a nine-year championship drought by beating the defending champion Phillies in six games last year. New York prevailed despite being outhomered 11-6, with Chase Utley hitting five homers for Philadelphia. Both teams made some key changes, with New York choosing not to re-sign World Series MVP Hideki Matsui and outfielder Johnny Damon. The biggest move was made by Philadelphia, which dealt Cliff Lee and acquired Halladay in a four-team deal in the offseason. Halladay has been outstanding, pitching a major league-leading five complete games. He’s dominated the Yankees, going 18-6 with a 2.81 ERA in 35 starts, including 8-1 with a 2.42 ERA in his last 10.
The right-hander has limited major league batting leader Robinson Cano to a .208 average while Yankee captain Derek Jeter is a .242 hitter with 24 strikeouts - his most against any pitcher. This will mark the third time that Halladay and Sabathia have met. They split the first two meetings, with Halladay posting a 3.29 ERA and Sabathia a 3.07 ERA. The Yankees ace went 0-1 with a 3.29 ERA in last year’s World Series, allowing three homers to Utley. Sabathia is 1-3 with a 4.74 ERA in six career outings against the Phillies, including three in the postseason. The left-hander’s last four victories have come against Baltimore, which he’s beaten in each of his last two starts. He gave up two runs over seven innings in a 4-2 road win Wednesday.
