Note: The stats next to the pitchers are as follows (IP,SO/BB,WHIP,VORP)
Game 1
Friday July 25th @ 6:05pm (FSN)
L. Hernandez (127, 47/24, 1.58, -4.0)
vs
C. Lee (133, 110/20, 1.04, 45.5)
The bad news is that Livan's road splits make the numbers above look good. You might think the good news is that the last time the Twins faced Lee they won 11-2, but I don't think that was anything more than an off night on the road for Lee.
Game 2
Saturday July 26th @ 6:05pm (FSN)
S. Baker (91, 76/15, 1.08, 22.6)
vs
F. Carmona (58, 23/38, 1.58, 13.1)
Carmona returns to the Indians lineup just in time to face the Twins. It will be interesting to see how Carmona fares, having struggled early on with walks and now coming back from injury. This is the only matchup of the series with two starters worth watching.
Game 3
Sunday July 27th @ 12:05pm (WFTC29)
N. Blackburn (120, 65/18, 1.30, 12.1)
vs
J. Sowers (50, 29/22, 1.84, -12.6)
Last time we saw Nick Blackburn he was getting yanked in the 2nd inning against New York. Blackburn's been having those types of outings with more regularity and may be hitting a wall. He's still way better than Sowers.
