A full twelve games might separate them in the standings, but tonight’s Yankees/Blue Jays showdown has the feeling of playoff baseball to it.

Andy Pettitte on the other hand (8-6 on the year) is 1-1 against the Jays this season. As usual, Pettitte is right about on par with his career numbers with an ERA of 4.51. This should work in favor of the Jays, as he only usually makes it about six innings deep within the ball game.

With great career numbers against Pettitte, don’t be surprised to see Jose Bautista and John McDonald holding down the fort on the left side of the infield. Bautista and McDonald are both 7-for-21 versus Andy Pettitte and also add a couple of right-handed bats to the lineup which should give Pettitte some trouble.
