Rangers vs Yankees Game 3 ALCS 2010 Odds, Picks & Predictions: After stealing one of two in the Lone Star State, the (1-1) New York Yankees [+100 ML] will host ace Cliff Lee and the (1-1) Texas Rangers [-110 ML] tonight at 8:07 PM ET (7:07 PM CT) for Game 3 of the American League Championship Series at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, NY.
As the ALCS is tied at one a piece, the Yankees are more than aware of the caliber of pitcher they have on their hands
tonight. New York manager Joe Girardi feels he has an idea as to how to deal with him. According to Game 3 ALCS 2010 Odds, Picks & Predictions experts at BODOG.com believe that the Rangers and Yankees will combine and score an OVER/UNDER total of 7½ runs scored.
"I don't think there's an exact science how you approach Cliff Lee," Girardi said. "But to me, he's a lot like Roy Halladay. If you try to take a couple of pitches and get deep in the count, you might be 0-2. So for me with Cliff Lee, I think you have to be ready to hit from pitch one. And if he makes a mistake, don't miss it."
In his 12 regular season starts against the Yankees, Lee is 6-4 with a 4.42 ERA. The last time he started against New York was on September 12th, and he was able to hold the Yankees to two hits in eight innings. Lee knows the pressure he has on his shoulders to perform, but says he will treat this as any other game.
"Regardless of what other people expect of me, I expect as much out of myself or more than anybody is going to expect out of me," Lee said. "So I don't look at it any different than I would any other game. I expect to be successful and that's the game plan [Monday] and every time I take the mound."
Andy Pettite will start for New York this evening, and the Yankees hope his postseason experience will see them through. The left-hander has won more games in the playoffs than any other pitcher in baseball history. This year he got is his 19th win in the ALDS game 2 against the Twins. Pettite has not lost a postseason game since 2005 in the NLCS, as part of the Houston Astros.
