The Yankees have been running good winning 8 of their last 11 games heading into Thursday’s action. All four clubs they beat up on during this span were against losing teams. Andy Pettitte has pitched very well giving up just 1 earned run over his last 3 starts working 21 innings. The Mets are 3-4 since the firing of Willie Randolph and are coming off losing 2 of 3 against the last place Seattle Mariners at home. Johan Santana has given up just 6 earned runs over his last 4 starts working 26 innings but the Mets lost all 4 of those starts with no run support. With the Mets lack of punch behind Santana and both starters in good form the play here is under 8 runs.
