The fat lady isn't singing, but she's on stage and ready to go. Jake taken a 75-42 lead after Tuesday night's games.
Connor still gets his starting pitcher Edwin Jackson of Tampa Bay. Jackson (11-8, 3.81) is at home tonight against the Yankees. He also gets hitters Kevin Youkolis and Carlos Quentin and a reliefe pitcher; either Joe Nathan (MIN), Francisco Cordero (CIN), or Seth McClung (MIL). Youkolis was scratched from last night's game with back spasms and is listed as questionable for tonight. Quentin sat out last night due to a sore left forearm and is also listed as questionable tonight.
Jake would still get points for Chritian Guzman and Chipper Jones. Guzman was given a routine night off on Tuesday and is expected back in the lineup tonight. Jones however was scratched from last night's game with a sore knee and Manager Bobby Cox has already said that he will not play on Wednesday.
33 points is the difference. Barring a gem by Edwin Jackson, Jake will be going on to his third World Series in the last four years and would play a rematch of the 2005 Series against Dale.
