i'm not getting this either
since 1997:
PETTITTE is 11-1 when starting against TAMPA BAY with an ERA of 3.29 and a WHIP of 1.362.
His team's record is 13-4 (+4.7 units) in these starts.
SHIELDS is 0-2 when starting against NY YANKEES with an ERA of 5.68 and a WHIP of 1.263.
His team's record is 0-3 (-3.0 units) in these starts, which were against wang, karstens, and mussina
are there any rumors of pettite being hurt and close to the DL?

I'm not really sure why people make statements like this. Other than 2005, the Yankees have owned TB more than any other team in baseball.
2006: 14-5
2005: 8-11
2004: 15-4
2003: 14-5
2002: 13-5
2001: 13-6
Total: 77-36
Pettite: 11-1 vs. TB
Earlier in the season, Shields might tempt me at this price, but not with his recent form. The Tampa bullpen, already the worst in MLB, is without the only arm who has shown any consistency. If the Rays have a two run lead after 7 innings, the game is a coinflip.
The whole card is weak, but this is the biggest stay away game of the bunch.
its funny.
for about the last month and a half, all you would read is people saying 'i cant believe how the yankees are still getting all this respect from the linesmaker and continuing to lay high juice despite being a .500 team'
... now, the lines are more reflective of their current form and everyone is saying 'why are the yankees ONLY laying this price'.
personally, i figured yanks would be in the -145/-150ish range.
shields hasnt regressed. he just hasnt been dominant. he's still very effective though. he goes deep into almost every start and he has a phenomenal K/BB ratio. will tampa win this one? im not sure. but theres good reason to think shields will pitch 6+ innings and leave the rays within 1 or 2 runs of the yanks.
