Bryan Woo vs. Domingo German

After allowing six earned runs in two innings in his first MLB start, Woo has settled down a little bit in his two starts since. He is coming off a start where he allowed two runs in 5 2/3 innings against the White Sox. Woo's big problem has been his sinker, as hitters are averaging .385 against the pitch compared to a .208 batting average against his fastball.

German is coming off one of the worst starts in Yankees history, as he allowed six extra base hits in two innings in the Yankees' 15-5 loss to the Red Sox.
