Probable Pitchers for Thursday, May 7
Jeff Niemann (TB) @ Andy Pettitte (NYY)
Frankly, I can’t decide on Andy Pettitte here and that would not even change if you gave me another 24 hours to think about it. Right now I’d say 49.9% pitch and 50.1% ditch.
Jair Jurrjens (ATL) @ Anibal Sanchez (FLA)
Zach Miner (DET) @ Jose Contreras (CWS)
I’m not quite bought on Zach Miner yet. I might be though, after another good outing.
Jarrod Washburn (SEA) @ Brian Bannister (KC)
Ted Lilly (CHC) @ Russ Ortiz (HOU)
Russ Ohlendorf (PIT) @ Todd Wellemeyer (STL)
Matt Cain (SF) @ Jason Marquis (COL)
Let me explain this controversial decision: Colorado gave Matt Cain a hard time in San Francisco. Imagine what they could do in thin air! Jeff Marquis has been very good at Coors Field and I don’t see the Giants going to change this.
Brandon McCarthy (TEX) @ Trevor Cahill (Oak)
Dan Haren (ARZ) @ Chris Young (SD)
Glen Perkins (MIN) @ Brad Bergesen (BAL)
Aaron Laffey (CLE) @ Tim Wakefield (BOS)
Braden Looper (MIL) @ Micah Owings (CIN)
Jamie Moyer (PHI) @ Mike Pelfrey (NYM)
Robert Ray (TOR) @ Jered Weaver (LAA)
Jordan Zimmermann (WAS) @ Randy Wolf (LAD)
