Laffey vs Buerhle

OK, this is going to be the easy win I've been looking for the last 2 games. Right? Our top rookie is facing an aging ineffective formerly good pitcher. However, with the Indians offense in a sputtering downward spiral, I guess anything could happen. I've been impressed with Laffey all season. After Jake went down, either Laffey or Sowers had to step up, and Laffey clearly has. He has an impressive 1.34 ERA, .86 whip, 5 walks, 0 HR in his 4 starts. But sadly, he only has a 2-2 record, so thank you Indians offense for that. Whereas Buerhle is 2-5 with a 5.27 era and a 1.54 whip. Even though it's on the road and this is Laffey's first start on the road, I still think that this is a favorable matchup for the Indians. If facing any pitcher in the league could bring the Indians offense out of a slump, I think that pitcher can easily be Mark Buehrle. But who knows, he threw a no-hitter last year, and the way the Indians are playing this season, they could easily be no-hit. So like always, I am optimistic about tonight's game, but won't call it a sure thing quite yet.
