In addition, the Yankees are 9-0 this season in games following 3 or more consecutive defeats. They are 61-25 when out for revenge for 2 straight losses in which they were held to 2 runs or less. They are also 6-1 in their last 7 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game.
Knowing the daunting history surrounding teams in an 0-3 hole, the Yankees now have the luxury of playing with nothing to lose. That makes them a more dangerous team tonight. Expect them to swing more freely at the plate and for Sabathia to take care of the rest.
