It'll be Andy Pettitte (13-6, 4.14 ERA) vs. Joe Saunders (13-7, 4.75 ERA) on Monday night as the division-leading Yankees and Angels meet in Los Angeles. Lefthander Pettitte took a no-decision against the Orioles last time out, allowing three earned runs over five innings of work. Pettitte had picked up the win in his previous four starts. Lefthander Saunders is also coming off a no-decision vs. the Red Sox (five runs over 5 2-3 innings), which stopped his four-game win streak.
Over in the National League Barry Zito (10-12, 3.94 ERA) will take on Doug Davis (7-13, 4.01 ERA) as the Diamondbacks host the Giants. Lefthander Zito beat the Rockies in his last trip to the mound, surrendering just two earned runs over his seven innings of work. Lefthander Davis took a no-decision against the Padres last time out, allowing three earned runs over six innings. Davis last won on August 10, and Arizona is only 1-5 over his six most recent trips to the mound.
