The New York Yankees (30-30) start a four-game series against the Kansas City Royals (23-37) at Yankee Stadium tonight. After yesterday’s improbable win, the struggling Royals come in at just the right time for the Yanks to feast on. Here are your matchups this weekend.
Tonight - 7:05 p.m., YES
Kyle Davies - RHP (1-0, 1.80 ERA) vs. Darrell Rasner - RHP (3-2, 2.67 ERA) NOTE: Davies served up A-Rod’s 500th HR last season.
Tomorrow - 1:05 p.m., YES
Brian Bannister - RHP (5-6, 4.60 ERA) vs. Andy Pettitte - LHP (5-5, 4.21 ERA)
Sunday - 1:05 p.m., YES
Zack Greinke - RHP (5-3, 3.56 ERA) vs. Joba Chamberlain - (1-2, 2.42 ERA)

3-of-4? you greedy bugger
do the royals not have a lefty in their rotation? tough to play a series against the yankees that way…
tonight’s a big game. if davies coming off a stellar start and rasner coming off a poor one, you could argue that the pitching matchup is in KC’s favor. if the royals could somehow pull off a win, it would do a lot to halt the Yanks’ momentum from yesterday. it would also go a long way toward pulling out the split, since you can’t like the Joba-Greinke matchup either.
The Yankees absolutely could pull out 3 out of 4. I mean they could do it. I’m guessing a split though, but they’re only facing 1 lefty so we’ll see. I’ll be at the game Sunday, glad to see Joba is starting. Hopefully he lays off the 3-2 curve balls.
greedy.
