06/30/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - As one of four teams in the American League East already more than 10 games out of contention in the standings, the New York Yankees once again try to defend their home turf this afternoon as they host the Oakland Athletics in the second of a three-game set from Yankee Stadium.
On Friday New York, which is third in the division and still 11 games behind Boston, snapped a four-game slide and won for just the second time in the last nine outings with a 2-1 victory against the A's in the Bronx. Alex Rodriguez was responsible for three hits, including an RBI double, while Jorge Posada knocked in the other run with a single.
Mike Mussina, who was making his 200th start for the Yankees, gave up just a single run on six hits to snap a two-game personal losing streak. Mussina, who is 4-5 on the season, became just the 10th pitcher in major league history to have at least 200 starts for two different teams following his 288 with Baltimore to begin his career.
Also reaching a significant milestone was manager Joe Torre, who posted the 2,010 win of his career on the bench, moving him ahead of Leo Durocher for ninth on the all-time list.
As for the A's, losers of seven of the last eight contests, their lone run was scored by Eric Chavez, while Shannon Stewart recorded three hits in a losing effort. Starter Joe Kennedy permitted the two runs to the home team on seven hits and three walks, while striking out five over six innings of work for his sixth loss in eight decisions.
In an attempt to snap a personal two-game slide, Chad Gaudin heads to the hill for the A's this afternoon in the Bronx.
Now in his fifth season in the majors and already on his third team, Gaudin burst into 2007 with a record of 6-1, but has been handed back-to-back losses by the likes of Cincinnati and Cleveland.
On Monday it was the Indians who registered three runs on six hits and three walks, while Gaudin struck out four over six innings in what became a 5-2 setback at Jacobs Field.
As for the Yankees, they're prepared to insert Kei Igawa back into the rotation after skipping his previous scheduled start due to an off day on the calendar.
The Japanese product, who spent seven weeks in the minors in an effort to work on his delivery, has started only two games since the end of April, failing to figure into either decision. On June 22 Igawa made it through only 4 2/3 innings versus the Giants out on the West Coast, giving up two runs on five hits and three walks, while striking out five in what became a 7-3 victory for the visitors.
Rodriguez continues to lead all of baseball with 28 home runs and 79 RBI for the Yankees and is third on the team in batting with a .334 average, all while having scored 73 times. However, no one else on the team has double-digit home runs to this point in the season and over the last week Bobby Abreu has done little to protect A-Rod in the lineup, hitting just .136 in 22 at-bats.
Oakland, which is a game over .500 on the year but still just 19-21 on the road and 9 1/2 games behind the Angels for first place in the AL West, is third from the bottom in the AL in batting at .257. However, thanks to having the best team ERA in the league at 3.55, the A's remain competitive and are tied with Boston for the most shutouts with seven through 79 games.
Jack Cust, who broke out with six home runs in his first seven games of the season, is at it again for the A's with three long balls and seven RBI in the last week. With a team-best 13 home runs at the moment, Cust has a slugging percentage of .605 for the club, the team as a whole just .402.
