Curtis Granderson will steal at least 1 base

Even in a super small sample of 7 plate appearances Granderson's numbers against Bard are nuts: .571/.571/1.571. If he limits himself to singles there could be many pickoff attempts.

0 HR
Mike Aviles will have at least 2 hits

His defense isn't always the best. He takes unwise leads from first base on occasion. But he knows what Sabathia is throwing: .462/.462/.538.

Kevin Youkilis will have at least 3 hits

FYI: This will turn into a DNP as he's been traded to the White Sox. Yoooouuuk owns Sabathia to the tune of a .368/.478/.711 career average against him.

CC Sabathia will give up at least 5 hits

Sabathia is a great pitcher, but the Red Sox have knocked him around from time to time. If he can hold Youkilis at bay and keep Ortiz in the park, it could be a walk in the, well, park.

Daniel Bard will strike out at least 7 batters

Fear of a sweep and a need to limit Bard's innings could turn his start into one for Jon Lester. The fact that current Yankees are hitting .258/.329/.606 doesn't hurt either, though most fo the damage is Teixeira and Granderson.
