Probable Pitchers for Friday, October 2
Jeremy Sowers (CLE) @ Daisuke Matsuzaka (BOS)
Dice-K seems to have found his form of last season just in time for the playoffs. His ERA is 1.96 in 3 starts since returning from the DL.
Livan Hernandez (WAS) @ Derek Lowe (ATL)
CC Sabathia (NYY) @ David Price (TB)
Billy Buckner (ARI) @ Tom Gorzelanny (CHC)
David Purcey (TOR) @ Jason Berken (BAL)
Jake Peavy (CWS) @ Edwin Jackson (DET)
Rick van den Hurk (FLA) @ Joe Blanton (PHI)
Daniel McCutchen (PIT) @ Justin Lehr (CIN)
Wandy Rodriguez (HOU) @ John Maine (NYM)
Lenny DiNardo (KC) @ Francisco Liriano (MIN)
Braden Looper (MIL) @ Adam Wainwright (STL)
Jered Weaver (LAA) @ Gio Gonzalez (OAK)
Barry Zito (SF) @ Kevin Correia (SD)
The Giants have nothing left to play for and Zito’s ERA is 7.56 in his last two starts. He is 0-4 with a 5.72 ERA in 5 starts against the Padres this season.
Brandon McCarthy (TEX) @ Ian Snell (SEA)
Ubaldo Jimenez (COL) @ Randy Wolf (LAD)
I hear a few alarm bells ringing here: 1) Jimenez ERA is 5.94 in his last 3 starts. 2) He is 0-3 with a 7.77 ERA in 4 starts against the Dodgers this season. 3) He is 0-1 with a 7.15 ERA in two starts at Dodger Stadium this season.
