Pirates vs. Phillies - Wells vs. Tejada - GOOD GAME... Pirates will win, just because I want them to... OK, now for the real prediction. Both coming off great starts of 7 innings. Wells has a 3.57 ERA in his last 3 and Tejada has an even 2. Here's the kicker. Wells is 2-8 w/ a 5.77 ERA on the road. I regretfully take Philly on this. Score, oh let's go with 3-2.
Now, on to the real teams...
Padres vs. Braves - CHAN HO vs. somebody good Hampton - Well, saying Chan Ho means that whoever he is pitching for will loose. Braves 45-3.
Brewers vs. Astros - Davis vs. Astacio - well, Astacio isn't looking all too well, but he does have something going for him. He just saved a bunch of money... OK, OK, OK... seriously, though, he does have an ERA of 4.82 at home this year, and Davis has an ERA of 4.97 on the road. And the last 3 shows that they are pretty even as well. But, I take the Brewers anyway, just because the variable is that the Astros have not been all that consistent of late and that Astacio's ERA for the season is really high. Slugfest? Yes. Brewers 9-7.
Rangers vs. Rays - Dominguez vs. McClung - Boy, do these two guys know how to throw a fat pitch. Dominguez with a 5.59 ERA only to be showed up by McClung with a 7.71 ERA. OUCH! How does this guy stay in the rotation is beyond me. Good Luck Tampa. Let's not even look at the last 3... numbers so high to be only compared with the National Deficit (as in, it's really, really bad). However, seeing as to how the Rangers strike out against this guy, that may be the variable good enough for the Rays to win. So that will be my take, but I do predict another slugfest. Rays in a homer filled contest 11-9.
