Crunched some numbers that you guys might find interesting. Dating back to 2006, Verlander only has one win in 5 starts at Yankee stadium with a 4.46 ERA. This includes his only postseason start at Yankee Stadium in 2006 where he went 5 innings and gave up 3 ER for the ND. For a guy that averages over 7 IP, he usually only pitches 5 or 6, only meeting his average once in 2009 in a 2-1 loss. Yankees have covered the RL twice and ML twice with Verlanders only underdog win coming in 2007.
On the other side of the coin, Sabathia has two wins and a ND in 3 appearances against the Tigers in the Bronx since putting on the pinstripes. Sabathia has been pretty dominant with a 1.8 ERA with the Yankees winning all three games (covering the RL twice and ML once).
Head to Head : in the four times they have faced each other, Sabathia has gotten the best of Verlander with a 3-1 win advantage. Out of the four games, two were in Yankee Stadium with Sabbathia winning both, covering the RL once and ML once.
Yankees -127
