Yankees, Angels play Game 5 of ALDS
The New York Yankees will travel to the west coast on Monday to face the Los Angeles Angels in the deciding game of their best-of-five American League Division Series.
Monday's pitching matchup will be a repeat of the series opener, as the Yankees' Mike Mussina goes against the Angels' Bartolo Colon. Mussina outpitched Colon back in Game 1 to give the Yankees a 1-0 series lead.
New York topped Los Angeles 3-2 on Sunday night to force this fifth and deciding game, eking out a 3-2 win behind the solid pitching of Shawn Chacon and Mariano Rivera.
Angels starter John Lackey, pitching in place of an ill Jarrod Washburn, turned in a solid outing but didn't factor into the final decision. Reliever Scot Shields took the loss for Los Angeles.
The winner of Monday's game advances to play the Chicago White Sox in the American League Championship Series, which is scheduled to begin on Tuesday night.
Some trends to consider:
New York are 2-11-0 OU in their last 13 games away against Los Angeles
New York are 6-14-0 OU in their last 20 games against Los Angeles
New York are 11-5-0 OU in their last 16 away
New York are 5-1-0 SU in their last 6 games after scoring 1 to 3 runs
Los Angeles are 4-1-0 SU in their last 5 games after scoring 1 to 3 runs
Los Angeles are 5-2-0 OU in their last 7 at home
Los Angeles are 6-14-0 OU in their last 20 games against New York
Los Angeles are 3-7-1 OU in their last 11 games
