We know how much Joe Girardi likes his binder and his match-up numbers. So with the Yankees just a few hours away from facing Justin Verlander in a crucial Game 3 of the American League Championship Series, here are the stats he'll have to struggle with when making out the lineup card:
Gardner lost most of the season to injury, however, he's 5-for-11 off Verlander in his career. The struggling Swisher is 11-for-61 with three home runs. Gardner doesn't have the reps, but Swisher doesn't appear to have the confidence right now.
