Game 4 Update

Pitching, pitching, pitching.

That's what Game 4 of the FNFT playoffs will come down to on Sunday as both playoff games are virtually deadlocked.

Jake leads Connor 49-46 going into today's action. Jake has his ace Brandon Webb on the mound. Webb is coming off one of his poorest outings of the year (-6); one that cost Jake a chance for a win in Game 2. Jake also gets a reliever; either Joakim Soria (KC) or Grant Balfour (TB). As an interesting sidenote, Jake cut Houston Street right before Game 4. Street scored 13 points on Saturday and Jake would have gotten those points if Soria and Balfour don't pitch. Connor counters with Armando Galarraga of Detroit. A mismatch on paper, but this game isn't played on a computer chip. Connor also gets a reliever; Jo Nathan (MIN) if he pitches, otherwise 8 points from Francisco Cordero, and hitting points from Kevin Youkalis and Jeff Kent.

In the other game Dale leads Gerry 28-27. Gerry gets Roy Halladay (TOR) and Dale gets Jake Peavy (SD) in today's games. Each team also gets a reliever - Wood (CHC), Hoffman (SD), or Kobayashi (CLE) for Gerry and Paperlbon (BOS), Wheeler (TB) or Gonzalez (ATL) for Dale. Both teams' hitters all played on Saturday - none scoring more than 7 points.
