Once again, I am excited for a series. This time, I am definitely not predicting a sweep by the Indians, instead I'll hope for 2 out of 3. All of the pitching matchups favor the Indians. But as always, it will depend on the Indians scoring more than 1-2 runs a game.
Tonight's match up: Carmona vs Gabbard.
Gabbard has been pitching well lately, however, he is no match for Fausto. If anyone can end the six game losing streak, it's Fausto.
Saturday's match up: Lee vs Feldman.
Cliff is coming off his first loss, but I think that's not a bad thing and I think he'll rebound with a big win here. I would only be impressed with Scott Feldman if he was Corey's brother, nothing he's done this season has impressed me so far. Advantage Cliff big time.
Sundays match up: Sabathia vs Mathis
Most people don't know who Doug Mathis is. Here's all you need to know. He's pitched 5 innings this season, given up 6 runs for a stellar 10.13 ERA and this will be his second major league start. And he's facing Cy Young CC, who has been amazing his last few starts
So in all, the Indians have the favorable matchup in every game. But, the Indians offense is always a mystery and Josh Hamilton is currently winning the triple crown, so shutting him down for 3 games could be a difficult task. Good luck this weekend Indians, I'll be away all weekend so the updates won't come until Monday most likely.
