So throw out all the previous numbers here as the Yankees bats get rolling in this one a bit earlier than people realize facing Keuchel for the 3rd time. He has absolutey dominated the Yankees the last two times he has faced them. So why are we going against him now? Beacuse after getting beat twice the Yankees will undoubtedly look at the tape for this 1 game winner takes all. In 16 innings he has given up 0 earned runs and 9 hits in the process. Look for the Yankees to possibly get 9 hits alone in this contest. It is very difficult for a pitcher to keep dominating a team. For example take a look at Texas. Keuchel gave up 3 earned runs in 15 innings the first two times he pitched against them and dominated. The third time out he gave up 9 runs, on 11 hits in less than 5 innings.

Tanaka pitched poorly in his last time out and is on a bounce-back after 3 straight quality starts and he has put together 9 of 10 quality starts to his credit and their #1 pitcher. Look for Yankee stadium to be rocking and the Yanks to get the win at home on Tuesday night.
