CC Sabathia takes the mound tonight in Los Angeles. The Yankees need this win because for the first time in a long time there are TWO teams ahead of them in the AL East. Both the Tampa Bay Rays and the Baltimore Orioles are tied for first and a half game ahead of the Yankees. So this one matters tonight as the Yanks try to keep pace in a bad AL East.
