Houstons bats have been sleepy ?
K.C. 16-3 @ Toronto 8-15
Darrell May 0-1 4.50 vs. Roy Halliday 0-2 4.96
The Jays just got home from a 11 day roady [ longest in the bigs]
L.A. 9-13 @ Pitt. 10-11
O. Perez 0-1 4.19 era vs. Kip Wells 0-1 3.13 era
Wells has endured a severe lack of run support , winless in his last 10 starts while showing a 3.02 era and getting 15 runs in that span ?
S.F. 17-4 @ Philly 13-9
K. Ainsworth 3-1 5.40 vs. Vincent Padilla 3-1 2.30
HOT MATCH-UP
Padilla pitched a masterpiece his last start 107 pitches , 82 strikes , and 1st. pitched [ strikes ] 23 of 30 batters
Ari. 8-14 vs. Mets 10-12
M. Batista 0-2 3.20 era vs. S. Trachell 0-1 4.91 era
Great game for a under here , I know I have been pounding Ari. unders as of late [ and hitting ] , but Batista is 3-2 3.08 lifetime vs. Mets , and Trachell is 3-1 2.83 including a 1-0 2.84 last year [ when Ari. could actually score ]
S.D. 9-13 @ Cinn. 8-14
Jake Peavey 3-1 4.30 era vs. Jeff Austin [xxxxx]

Orioles 11-10 @ D-Rays 8-14
Omar Daal 1-2 5.96 era vs. Seth McClung 1-0 4.30
Daal looked good his last outing [sun.] 1 run in 7 innings
Seth at 6ft. 7in. 260pds. is imposing and had a good spring ?
Milw. 8-14 @ Atlanta 13-9
Ben Sheets 1-2 3.97 era vs. Shane Reynolds 1-0 *** era
Sheets struck out 14 walked 10 so far + 6 homers
Reynolds no earned runs in 12 innings spells disaster for Brewers
St. Louis 9-11 @ Florida 12-11
J. Simontacchi 0-1 11.25 era vs. A.J.Burnnet 0-1 3.63 era
Simontacchi has not lasted more than 5 innings so far ?
A.J. is winlees in last 3 , can the Braves bats carry a poor effort ? we think so , but watch out for A.J. ?
Minn. 9-12 @ vs. White Sox 12-10
Joe Mays 2-2 5.96 era vs. Mark Buehrle 2-2 3.27 era
Mays is 2-0 3.32 at Kauffman , at U.S. Cellular ???????
Buehrle got bombed by Clev. last outing = 3 homers + 7 earned
N.Y.Yankees 18-4 @ Texas 10-12
M. Mussina 4-0 1.86 vs. Colby Lewis 3-0 4.43 era
Listen up fellas Mussina`s , 10-11 , got a 12.00 era and was 0-2 last year [ one of only 3 teams he has a losing record against ] ?
Cubs 13-9 @ Rockies 12-10
Mark Prior 3-1 1.50 vs. Nelson Cruz 3-0 2.91 [ at Coors ? ]
[last year] Prior in 2 games was 1 complete , 21 wiffs , 5 hits 2-0 ?????
RedSox 14-8 @ Angles 10-12

Jason Davis 2-2 6.97 era vs. Ted Lilly 1-0 3.24 era
Davis has cut his era in half in the last 2 ???
Lilly hasnt gone 7 in his last 3 ???
Detroit 2-18 vs. Seattle 14-8
Mike Marroth 0-5 4.55 era vs. Joel Pinerio 1-1 4.85
Pinerio should be 4-1 , but his bullpen has failed him in the last 3 , look for him to cruise !
