I wont be able to make any of these games this weekend so im doing a series thread.
Pitching Matchups:
Westbrook (2-2, 5.60) vs Moyer (1-2, 3.55)
Lee (2-2, 3.31) vs Pineiro (3-2, 4.26)
Sabathia (1-0, 4.91) vs Washburn (2-4, 3.79)
We send our big 3 to go against Westbrook, Lee and Sabathia. This will be Sabathia's 1st start on the road since coming off the DL. Jarrod Washburn has a 0.99 WHIP this season so far. Im really liking that Lee vs Pineiro matchup on Saturday. The interesting thing will be if the M's get a lead who will they go to in the 9th inning to get the save. Im hoping for Soriano but Putz is the safer bet. Sherill has also shown he could do it too.
Prediction
Today- Indians 5, M's 4: WP- Betacourt, LP- Green, SV- Wickman, HR- Sexson, JLopez, Hafner, Blake
Sat- M's 3, Indians 2: WP- Pineiro, LP- Lee, SV- Putz, HR- None
Sunday- Indians 3, M's 2: WP- Sabathia, LP- Guardado, HR- Hafner
