NYY: RHP Joba Chamberlain (7-2, 3.58 ERA)
On Wednesday, Chamberlain turned in his best performance since being reinstated to the starting rotation last year, hurling eight innings of shutout ball in leading the Yankees to a 6-2 victory over the Rays at Tropicana Field. The 23-year-old limited Tampa Bay to just three singles in the contest -- two by Jason Bartlett -- and faced the minimum through the first four frames to match his career high in innings pitched. Chamberlain is 3-0 with a 0.83 ERA since the All-Star break.
BOS: RHP John Smoltz (2-4, 7.12 ERA)
The right-hander has been unable to establish any kind of rhythm in his first seven starts with Boston -- he has yet to turn in a quality start. In his last outing, against the Orioles, Smoltz gave up eight hits and five runs over six innings. This will be the first time Smoltz has faced the Yankees since joining the Sox. Smoltz has pitched only two regular-season games against the Yankees in his career, posting a 4.50 ERA in two no-decisions.
