Games of the Day

There's lots of afternoon baseball today, so set up your radio at work! We might be seeing Jeff Weaver's last start for the Mariners as he faces Justin Verlander and the Detroit Tigers. Weaver almost pitched a good game against the Yankees, but fell apart in the sixth inning and ended up allowing six runs. His ERA sits at 15.35. He's not fooling anyone as the opposition hits .435 against him. His walks are low, but that's because the pitches he's serving are so phat. With King Felix scheduled to return soon, someone has to go.

While Verlander has pitched well overall, he's run into trouble at Comerica this season. He's given up eight extra-base hits at home, just two on the road.

The only great pitching matchup of the day takes place in Toronto where Tim Wakefield faces Roy Halladay. The Blue Jays ace tries to stop Toronto's eight game losing streak. They've been outscored 64-27. That's an average score of 8-3. Four times the Jays allowed nine runs or more. Roy served up nine runs in his last outing. Overall, however, his stats look good, especially his walks and strikeouts. Wakefield continues to baffle left-handed hitters, who are hitting just .125 off the knuckleballer.

Enjoy!
