The Yanks will send Andy Pettitte to the mound and the Mets will counter with Mr. Would’ve, Could’ve (the “should have” part is debatable) himself, Johan Santana. Pettitte has given up 1 ER in his last 21 innings of work and he has a career 3.48 ERA against the Mets. Santana is also starting to turn it up a notch as he’s posted up a 1.87 ERA this month (his best of the season). He has a 2.98 ERA against the Yankees in 48.1 innings.
