Derek Jeter has an excellent chance to break Lou Gehrig’s franchise all-time hits mark today when the New York Yankees play the first day-night doubleheader at the new Yankee Stadium against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Jeter went 3-for-3 in Sunday’s 14-8 loss at Toronto to leave him four hits shy of replacing Gehrig as the all-time hits leader for baseball’s most successful franchise.

New York, who is listed as -180 favorites, will begin the day with its hottest pitcher on the mound. CC Sabathia improved to 6-0 with a 2.45 ERA over his last seven starts after he allowed one run over seven innings Wednesday in a 10-2 win at Baltimore.

Sabathia is 7-2 with a 2.95 ERA in 13 career starts against the Rays

Matt Garza, who will oppose Sabathia, is 0-2 with a 5.05 ERA in his last seven starts.
