The Blue Jays and Yankees play the second game of their series on Wednesday as A.J. Burnett faces Mike Mussina. The Yankees will be looking to Mussina to rebound from a poor 2007 season in which opponents batted .311 against him. Toronto will be looking to get Matt Stairs into the lineup on Wednesday. He was kept out of the lineup on Tuesday because he has a sore left hip flexor. "He's OK," manager John Gibbons said. "We're going to stick with what we were doing and give him one more day. If we need him we'll use him, but we'd like to stay away from that one more time." Gibbons said about Stairs playing on Tuesday. SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking Blue Jays on the Road.

The Yankees have decided that Robinson Cano will be their #6 hitter this season. "Robbie is a great young hitter," manager Joe Girardi said. "He has improved every year to me. Robbie is eventually probably going to move up more as his career goes on, if he continues to improve. It's the first step, to me." Cano batted .306 last season hitting 19 home runs with 97 RBIs.
