The hitters have spoken. Whispered, actually.
With no hitters on either side able to crack double-digits and a solid performance by Justin Verlander, Avery takes a 51-30 lead over Joe in the FNFT Divisional Playoffs heading into today's action. The key game tonight is at 6:00 in Kansas City when Zack Grienke takes the mound for Joe. Neither team had a reliever pitch yet, and Avery can still get Shin-Soo Choo (gazunteit). Grienke obviously need a solid game for Joe to avoid the sweep, however 20+ games have been common for Grienke this year.
In the Saturday game, if it's needed, Joe gets Randy Wolf who pitches at home against San Diego. Game time is 9:00 p.m. Opposing Wolf is Mat Latos, Avery's only other starting pitcher going this weekend. Unless Avery looks to the scrap heap for another starter, we would have a head-to-head pitching matchup for Game 4 - again, if necessary. If Grienke fails tonight, then it's all Moop.
