Joe Girardi waited until game day to announce his rotation for the ALDS. Like last year, the Yankees will go with a three-man rotation. CC Sabathia for Games 1 and 4, Andy Pettitte for Games 2 and 5, and Phil Hughes for Game 3.
Some may have hoped Hughes and Pettitte would’ve been switched, as Pettitte has had a slow return from the DL and Hughes has looked relatively sharp down the stretch.
Here are all their final lines for the season:
| Name | W | L | IP | ERA | K | WHIP |
| Sabathia | 21 | 7 | 237.2 | 3.18 | 197 | 1.23 |
| Pettitte | 11 | 3 | 129 | 3.28 | 101 | 1.27 |
| Hughes | 18 | 8 | 176.1 | 4.19 | 146 | 1.25 |
The Twins are calling on Francisco Liriano for Game 1, Carl Pavano for Game 2 an Brian Duensing for Game 3. Pitchers for Games 4 and 5 aren’t set in stone.
