New York: C.C. Sabathia (10-5, 3.82 ERA)

Eduardo goes for the Red Sox tonight and in his last outing he was roughed up giving up five runs in six innings in a 7-0 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. The Red Sox have lost three of his last four starts including his last two where he has given up eight earned runs in 11 innings of work. Rodriguez’s only start of the season against the Yankees came on August 11th where he had a great outing going six innings and not giving up any earned runs only allowing two hits, but the bullpen blew it in a 5-4 Boston loss. Since coming off the DL he is 0-2 with an ERA of 5.08 in eight starts. The Red Sox have lost Rodriguez’s last four road starts.

CC Sabathia gets the call for the Yankees and in his last outing he only gave up one earned run in seven innings, but got little help in a 2-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners.
