    The New York Yankees will send the winningest pitcher in postseason history to the mound for Game 2 of the AL Division Series against the Baltimore Orioles.

    Andy Pettitte, whose 19 postseason wins top baseball's all-time list, will get the ball Monday night against the Orioles, who have yet to name their starter. Hiroki Kuroda, the other Game 2 candidate, will start Game 3 at Yankee Stadium.

    Pettitte will follow CC Sabathia, who will start Game 1 on Sunday night, an unusual decision by manager Joe Girardi, who generally does not like to start his two left-handers back to back.

    "I think there's a couple of factors in this," Girardi said at a news conference before the Yankees' workout at Camden Yards on Saturday.

    Pettite is like the best post season pitcher ever. Gotta like your chances if you're the Yankees.
