Santana just not good against the Yankees, many pitchers have this dilemma. Here's a little piece I found on rotowire that is interesting:

Ervin Santana v. Yankees – The long ball is always a concern a Yankee Stadium, but Santana has had a lot of trouble against them (combined 10 homers allowed in 154 at-bats) in his career. He gave up a pair of long balls to the Twins in his first start of the season last week and his flyball tendencies should serve as a red flag.

Adding an afternoon game:

1* Arizona Diamondbacks (+145)

I really like the value in this game for a number of reasons. First, Kershaw is battling control issues and I can see some walks mounting up for him. He was walking Pirates all day in his last start including the opposing pitcher twice.

Second, I think Kershaw gets too much respect from the odds makers because he is such a young, talented pitcher. People are excited about him and the line, in my opinion, gets inflated.

Third, Kershaw usually doesn't bring his A-game against the pesky D-backs and I just think there is a lot of value in this line.

Good Luck.

Oh, and with Montereo out, Snyder is a decent replacement. He had 64 RBIs in only 115 games in 2008 so he can be productive. Supposedly he will be in the bottom 1/3 of the lineup so he may have a couple opportunities to produce.
