As has been widely expected, CC Sabathia will start game four of the World Series on three days of rest on Sunday, according to Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman.
Our View: Sabathia pitched eight dominating innings of one-run ball in game four of the ALCS on three days rest, so he's more than up to the call. He just has to tame Chase Utley now.

The Major League Baseball Players Association has named Royals' ace Zack Greinke the AL's most outstanding pitcher for 2009, according to MLB.com. Greinke finished the season with 242 strikeouts in 229.1 innings pitched.
Our View: Greinke was the best pitcher in the league for most of the season, and he hopes to be announced as the AL Cy Young winner as well. He has some tough competition in Felix Hernandez and CC Sabathia, but this award can't hurt his chances.

ANAHEIM -- CC Sabathia's 89th pitch on Tuesday night came on an 0-2 count against Angels catcher Mike Napoli, with one out in the top of the seventh inning and Sabathia's Yankees leading 5-1. The pitch was significant not only because of its result -- Sabathia struck out Napoli on a foul tip to Jorge Posada -- but because it put Sabathia's transcendent performance into stark relief against that of the Angels' starter, Scott Kazmir, who threw 89 pitches of his own. Whereas Sabathia's first 89 pitches resulted in 20 Angels outs, Kazmir's 89 pitches produced just 12 Yankees outs, and manager Mike Scioscia pulled him after he allowed a single to the first batter he faced in the top of the fifth.

AOL Fanhouse's Ed Price reports that the Yankees will indeed pitch CC Sabathia in game one of the ALCS, and then again in game four on short rest, barring an usually high pitch count in game one.
Our View: The Yankees are going with the Brewers' Sabathia model, it appears. Including the playoffs, CC made four starts on short rest for Milwaukee at the end of the 2008 season, going 2-2 with a 2.49 ERA. He will be starting game one on eight days rest, so he should be in good shape to succeed in game four.

Our View: This series looks like it has the potential to be a classic, and Lackey vs. CC will be an excellent way to start it off. Beating Sabathia may be a key to this series for the Halos, as he is really the only reliably dominant starter in the Yanks' rotation.

Just five days ago, CC Sabathia took the mound at Tampa Bay with something extra at stake: the chance to win 20 games for the first time in his nine-year career. Even though the big left-hander insisted in the days leading up to the game that 20 wins didn't mean much to him, his reaction upon failing to reach the milestone told us otherwise. After Yankees manager Joe Girardi pulled him with two outs in the top of the third inning, Sabathia unleashed what might have been his best pitch of the night. Unfortunately, the object that Sabathia threw then was his glove, not a baseball, and he threw it at the wall of the visitors' dugout, not toward home plate.

Zack Greinke didn't look sharp in his final start of the regular season on Saturday. The Twins touched him for four runs on six hits and a pair of walks over six innings. He fanned five, but the Royals fell 5-4.
Our View: Greinke closes out what will likely be his Cy Young season with a 16-8 record, an MLB-leading 2.16 ERA and 242 strikeouts in 229.1 innings. He'll get some competition from CC Sabathia of the Yankees, but as long as the voters don't overvalue wins, the kid from KC should take home the hardware.

Yankees | Sabathia fails to win 20 games
The Associated Press reports New York Yankees SP CC Sabathia (19-8) surrendered nine runs (five earned) in just 2 2/3 innings to lose to the Tampa Bay Rays Friday, Oct. 2. It was his first loss in more than two months. It was also the fifth time in Sabathia's career in which he allowed nine runs in a game. He finished 0-2 in four starts against the Rays this season, giving up 21 runs in 23 1/3 innings and failing to get beyond the sixth inning in either of his starts on the road. Sabathia gave up eight hits and matched a season high with five walks.

CC Sabathia was lit up for nine runs (five earned) on eight hits over a mere 2.2 innings in Friday's 13-4 loss at Tampa Bay. He had five walks with three strikeouts.
Our View: The Rays took out their frustration of missing the playoffs on Sabathia, and the ace hurler fell short of winning his 20th game. He fell to 19-8 with a 3.37 ERA.

Sabathia fell short in his quest for 20 wins about as resoundingly
Sabathia fell short in his quest for 20 wins about as resoundingly as possible. While Yankees fans may be fretting about what this does or does not presage for the postseason, fantasy owners can't really complain given Sabathia's amazing two-month run. In August and September, Sabathia won nine straight decisions, posted an 85/19 K/BB ratio over 79 1/3 innings and lowered his season ERA from 3.83 to 3.21. Yes, he could've ended on a higher note, but Sabathia's vintage tear probably won fantasy titles for a great many owners.
