Yankees (86-71)
Roy Halladay, RHP (19-11, 2.81)
Blue Jays (83-74)
Scouting Report:
Yankees: Pavano is set to make his seventh start of the year for the Yankees following his late August return, taking on the Blue Jays as the Yankees complete their season series with Toronto. Pavano has won his past two outings despite not making it through the sixth inning, beating the Rays and Orioles. Pavano also faced the Blue Jays on Aug. 29 at Yankee Stadium, limiting the Jays to one run over six innings in a 2-1 Yankees victory.
Blue Jays: The ace of the Jays' staff notched his team-leading 19th victory of the season in his last start. Against Boston, Halladay allowed three runs on six hits o
ver six innings. He was not particularly sharp, though, as he walked three batters -- the most since July 29 against Tampa Bay, a span of 10 starts. Against the Yankees, Halladay will aim for his 20th win of the season. It would mark only the second time in his career that he has reached the plateau, with the first time coming in 2003 when Halladay won 22 games en route to collecting the American League Cy Young Award. He is 14-5 with a 2.90 ERA lifetime against New York.
