2 of Dice-K's last 3 starts were promising and the Indians are only batting .217 in their last 7 games.
Cliff Lee (SEA) @ Scott Feldman (TEX) Wandy Rodriguez (HOU) @ Jason Hammel (COL) P.J. Walters (STL) @ Carlos Monasterios (LAD) Wade LeBlanc (SD) @ Cole Hamels (PHI) Barry Zito (SF) @ Johnny Cueto (CIN) Derek Lowe (ATL) @ Dan Haren (ARI) Scott Kazmir (LAA) @ Ben Sheets (OAK)
I have a feeling Kazmir gets through the righty-heavy lineup with little damage.
In general, what I don't like about Kazmir is that he gets his pitch count up early. The A's have one lefty in their lineup I think. He may have to face him only 2x in 5 innings.
