Sizing up the Jays

It was pretty successful last time, so why not do it again. Here is a look at both the Starters for the Jays and the Sox and who they struggle against.

Jesse Litsch vs.
David Ortiz - .667/.667/1.000 (3)
Alex Cora - .333/.333/.667 (3)
Doug Mirabelli - .333/.333/.667 (3)

Roy Halladay vs.
David Ortiz - .304/.342/.609 (73)
Mike Lowell - .353/.389/.882 (18)
J.D. Drew - .400/.500/.400 (12)

Shaun Marcum vs.
Mike Lowell - .375/.375/.750 (8)
Manny Ramirez - .500/.571/1.500 (7)
J.D. Drew - .250/.400/.500 (5)

Looking at those, I would expect Papi and Drew to both have a good series. Drew could really use it. Papi has been on a tear anyways, so it is just a plus that there are nice pitching match-ups. I wouldn't be surprised if Tito give DP or Lugo the day off tomorrow and start Cora.

Daisuke Matsuzaka vs.
Alexis Rios - .375/.500/.500 (10)
Aaron Hill - .375/.444/.875 (9)
Troy Glaus - .667/.667/1.333 (6)

Josh Beckett vs.
Lyle Overbay - .350/.500/.400 (26)
Vernon Wells - .381/.435/1.000 (23)
Aaron Hill - .333/.368/.556 (19)

Curt Schilling vs.
Vernon Wells - .438/.444/.563 (18)
Frank Thomas - .625/.556/.625 (9)
Troy Glaus - .429/.429/.571 (7)

Man, does Glaus and Wells have some great numbers. These are suppose to be the aces of the Sox staff, so this series will be interesting. The youngsters pick it up against the O's, what will the vets do? Magic # is at 20, wahoooooo!
