GRAND SALAMI JAY PAYTON

DANIEL CABRERA RULES

BEST TEAM EVER

	Today's Starting Pitchers	GS	IP	ERA	WHIP	BAA	BB	K	W-L
	Josh Beckett - RH	6	41.1	3.70	0.94	.204	8	42	4-2
	Jeremy Guthrie - RH	8	50.0	4.32	1.26	.242	16	32	1-3

Two-game series. They're a lot better than us. Back at home. Beckett's good. Guthrie was good (2.41 ERA) but lucky (1.45 WHIP) in three starts against Boston last year (0-0). Beckett was outstanding (2.28/0.97) in three starts at Camden Yards last season (3-0).

We (.244 AVG) can't (.314 OBP) hit (.383 SLG) at all (.697 team OPS). This could be no fun whatsoever.

Take a look at these lineups. This is a gross mismatch.
