Answer 4

Harden (Cubs), Harden has been lights out, the Cubbies are hot, hasn't allowed more than 3 runs in a start this year

Moyer (Phillies), Moyer is 10-0 vs. the Marlins in his career, Johnson is just coming back from injury

Pelfrey (Mets), San Diego is a terrible team, 18-35 on the road, Pelfrey is pitching well, but coming off a rough start, also Chris Young has a 6.58 road ERA

Jackson (Rays), Rays are lights out at home, Carmona isn't that good had a good start last time, but got rocked the previous two before that

Volquez (Reds), Brewers have controversy from yesterday, Bush is terrible on road, and against the reds

Pettite (Yankees), Pettite will recover from poor start, Matt Harrison just plain sucks, bullpen will not blow another game, Yanks have possible the best pen in the majors and have blown two recently

Smith (A's), won't get the win, but Jays pen will blow the game

Beckett (Red Sox), I don't think I need to explain this one

Floyd (White Sox), better team, better pitcher, done

Carpenter (Cards), Carpenter will pitch strong again, plus if Dodgers get ahead I can see the pen blowing this one with the Cards at home

Garland (Angels), Best team in baseball, third worst team in AL

De La Rosa (Rockies), Nats pen blow it

Baker (Twins), Superior team, Nathan in the pen if games is close

Webb (Arizona), possibly best pitcher in baseball

Not mentioned, but J. Sanchez (Giants), Hampton should not be pitching in the major leagues, Giants pen could blow it
