The Yankees and Red Sox battle is getting to the point where we begin to refer to the struggle for supremacy as a “blink game�, which means what it implies, as the first team to blink is done like dinner. Both teams are doing it with superior offense and suspect pitching and that’s what makes this tussle a bugger to handicap!
I don’t even want to begin to imagine what next weekend will be like in Beantown when the Red Sox invite Jeter, Gonzalez and the rest of the clan over for the last kick at the can. Boston goes for the sweep in Tampa tonight and after scoring 15 last night, they may have wished they had saved a few hits for tonight’s starter lefty Scott Kazmir. He is 2-1 against the Red Sox in his career with a very nice 2.18 ERA in 33 innings of work, but the base on balls need to be limited, as he has allowed 90 free passes in 176 innings this season.
The Red Sox are smiling though as they send Tim Wakefield to the hill and this guy is money in the till when facing Tampa. Boston's veteran right-hander will shoot for his 14th win in 15 career decisions against Tampa Bay when the AL East-leading Red Sox continue a three-game series at Tropicana Field.
Wakefield, who has emerged as Boston's surprising staff ace this year, leading the team in victories and ERA, is 13-1 with a 2.86 ERA in 28 career appearances, including 18 starts, against the Devil Rays.
He didn't dominate Tampa Bay at Fenway Park on Aug. 31, but still emerged with a 7-6 win after allowing five runs and six hits over eight innings. Wakefield's wins against Tampa Bay are his most against any opponent except Detroit. He is 13-8 with a 4.43 ERA in 30 career appearances against the Tigers.
Wakefield is 6-0 with a 1.79 ERA in 15 career outings, including nine starts, at Tropicana Field.
Meanwhile the Yankees will look to down the meek Orioles, before heading home to host the Jays. The Orioles had 18 hits last night, but lost for the 20th time in 30 games and in the process lost catalyst Brian Roberts with a dislocated elbow.
Randy Johnson gets the start and believe it or not he has a career losing record against the Orioles, going just 6-7 in 20 games started. He was tossed from his last start for arguing balls and strikes, but I watched that game and he was all over the place with his pitches.
He should bounce back tonight against a lethargic Orioles team that is playing out the string!
Considering the way Aaron Boone started the season for the Indians, he is really stepping up when it counts in September as he is 9-15 in the past 4 games and has a couple of dingers as well. The Indians send Scott Elarton to the mound and I don’t care for the guy, but he has won three in a row and allowed just 15 hits in the last 21 innings.
White Sox starter John Garland has been very inconsistent of late and has not fared well career wise against the Tribe going 5-8 in 15 starts with an ERA of 5.81.
