Probable Pitchers for Thursday, June 18
Zach Duke (PIT) @ Nick Blackburn (MIN)
I’ll start Zach Duke here but be aware that he’s given up 5 HRs in his last two starts and the Twins are batting .306 in their last 5 games.
Craig Stammen (WAS) @ Joba Chamberlain (NYY)
Casey Janssen (TOR) @ Joe Blanton (PHI)
Tommy Hanson (ATL) @ Matt Maloney (CIN)
Dan Haren (ARI) @ Luke Hochevar (KC)
Gavin Floyd (CWS) @ Carlos Zambrano (CHC)
Matt Garza (TB) @ Ubaldo Jimenez (COL)
I don’t feel comfortable starting Ubaldo Jimenez at Coors Field against a team that’s batting .351 in their last 5 games.
Brandon Morrow (SEA) @ Josh Geer (SD)
Livan Hernandez (NYM) @ Jason Berken (BAL)
Ricky Nolasco (FLA) @ Jon Lester (BOS)
I think I have to recommend Jon Lester for the first time this season: His last 3 starts were quality starts, he got the win twice and threw 34 Ks over 22 innings.
Brandon Backe (HOU) @ Vicente Padilla (TEX)
Rick Porcello (DET) @ Joel Pineiro (STL)
Vin Mazzaro (OAK) @ Randy Wolf (LAD)
