Neither Justin Verlander nor CC Sabathia shined when the aces dueled in AL Central matchups. Since Sabathia joined the New York Yankees, Verlander has outpitched him in head-to-head matchups. They will meet for the second time this season Tuesday night when Verlander’s Detroit Tigers continue a four-game road series against the Yankees, who could be without Alex Rodriguez. These aces met four times when Sabathia was with Cleveland, and neither pitched particularly well. Verlander went 2-1 with a 5.12 ERA, and Sabathia was 2-2 with a 6.66 ERA in those games. Verlander is 4-2 with a 3.63 ERA in seven career outings against New York, including 2-1 with a 0.87 ERA in three when opposing Sabathia. The Yankees ace is 1-2 with a 4.29 ERA in those starts, including a 6-0 loss May 13 in which he gave up six runs over six innings while Verlander was sharp in 6 2-3 innings.
New York captain Derek Jeter is 7 for 18 against Verlander, but Yankees hitters batting left-handed haven’t fared as well. Nick Swisher is 7 for 38, Mark Teixeira 1 for 14 and Robinson Cano 4 for 17 against the right-hander. Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera, meanwhile, is 7 for 11 with two homers and nine RBIs against Sabathia. Sabathia has won two straight, and fell one out shy of a complete game Thursday after allowing three runs in a 4-3 victory at Kansas City. The left-hander - tied with Tampa Bay’s David Price and Minnesota’s Carl Pavano for the AL lead in victories - is 13-0 with a 2.25 ERA in his last 18 regular-season home starts. That streak began when he outdueled Verlander with seven scoreless innings in a 2-1 victory July 18, 2009.
