The lineups have been posted. The Yankees have had decent success against Josh Beckett, particularly Arod, Cano, Jeter and Johnson. Meanwhile, the Sox have really struggled against Sabathia. If history holds, new additions Cameron and Scutaro should come in handy as only Ortiz has had any thing resembling success from among the Red Sox’ holdovers.
