Yankee Win Probability: 59.4%
Winning this game would give the Yankees a series win in the first two series of a nine game road trip. They are off tomorrow before heading into Boston for three games. Chad Gaudin makes his first start as a Yankee, possibly vying for a full-time rotation spot if he pitches well. That makes this an important game for Gaudin. Since’s Gaudin’s a Yankee, it thus makes it an important game for them as well.
Go Yankees.
