This is why I don't fancy Liriano here: 7.20 ERA in 3 games against
Boston, 15.75 ERA in 1 start at Fenway Park and the Red Sox were
batting very well in the series against the Yankees.
Luke Hochevar (KC) @ Mitch Talbot (CLE) James Shields (TB) @ Andy Pettitte (NYY) Mike Leake (CIN) @ Tommy Hanson (ATL)
Ervin Santana (LAA) @ Mark Buehrle (CWS)
Santana's inconsistency makes this start a risky one. The White Sox are batting .264 in their last 8 games.
Brian Matusz (BAL) @ Scott Feldman (TEX) Ryan Dempster (CHC) @ Joe Blanton (PHI)
Nate Robertson (FLA) @ Adam Wainwright (STL)
Kevin Correia (SD) @ Clayton Kershaw (LAD)
A cold Correia, 6.06 ERA in his last 3 starts, against a seemingly
invincible Dodgers team, batting .258 during a 9-game winning streak. I
think not. Use at your own risk if you need Ks.
Jeremy Bonderman (DET) @ Tyson Ross (OAK)
Bonderman is my sleeper for this day. It looks like a very favourable matchup.
Ricky Romero (TOR) @ Jason Vargas (SEA)
I don't really like this matchup for Romero but feel free to start him if you're after his Ks.
John Maine (NYM) @ Luis Atilano (WAS)
Chris Narveson (MIL) @ Paul Maholm (PIT) Ubaldo Jimenez (COL) @ Roy Oswalt (HOU) Tim Lincecum (SF) @ Rodrigo Lopez (ARI)
Good Call today on Bonderman, I picked him up this morning and he gave 6 good innings with only 1 ER and 8 Ks. As long as the pen holds up, he'll get me a W too.
