After a 4 game series against Cleveland which I missed and I apologize for that (damn computer) But I was following and I know that we took a split and it was sort of a disapointing end to the series. Towers got rocked the first game we lost against them and then Bush had a good game but then we lost it in extras. But anyways now its time for a first versus worst in the AL East.
Pitching matchups:
Sean Douglass (0-1, 4.91) vs. Javier Vazquez (12-6, 4.16) Vazquez is having a solid campaign and is a much better pitcher then Douglass is, so I would take the Yankees in this one for sure.
Ted Lilly (8-7, 3.78) vs. El Duque (3-0, 3.00) So far Orlando looks pretty good in his return to NY. He faces a familiar face in Ted Lilly who has pitched extremely well lately. Tough call, but I will take the all-star
Miguel Batista (9-6, 4.08) vs. Jon Lieber (7-7, 5.06) It looks like there is a pitching matchup that favours the Jays here, although Lieber looked good in his last outing against Toronto. Even though Batista is coming off his worst start in a few months, I would still take him over Lieber.
