Yankees: He's Backkkkkk

The stare; the presents; the cutter; the motion, and more importantly -- the winningest postseason pitcher...is back !

Andrew Eugene Pettitte will make his return against the Toronto Blue Jays, in the first game of a double-header today.

What To Look On Andy's Return: His cutter. Pettitte's cutter is his table-setter, his bread and butter, and his strikeout pitch. If he's locating it well, he's gonna have good day, because he knows how to use and setup his off-speed stuff.

Pettitte's fastball control will be something to look for as well. He needs to spot that fastball away and in the corners to right-handers.

I think Pettitte is going to pitch really well in the first couple of innings, although, he could struggle once he gets to 60-pitches. His pitch-limit is 75, today. So it'll be interesting to see how strong he is once he gets around that mark.

Andy's Prediction Line: 6.1 innings, 4 hits, 5 K's
