Tuesday April, 10: Nate Robertson (DET)(1-0) vs. Jaret Wright (BAL)(0-1)With the home opener the night before out of the way it's time to see if Wright will give the O's the kind of starting pitching they desperately need. They may have won 2-of-3 against the Yankees this past weekend. But the defending AL Champions don't have the starting pitching woes the bombers have and - in my opinion - Robertson is the most steady part of the Tigers' rotation.

Wednesday April 11: Miguel Batista (SEA)(0-1) vs. Daisuke Matsuzaka (BOS)(1-0)
D-Mat makes his home debut in this one and Batista would seem to be in over his head in this one. Perhaps the Mariners will have a few gyro balls bouncing off the green monster yet.
(Win Probability graphing by Fangraphs)"King" Felix Hernandez got the call to start this one! What a fantastic game! A 1-hit complete game shutout from the 20-year-old phenom! Long live the king! Only 4K's from Dice-K? Wow!
Felix Hernandez: 9.0IP, 1H, 0R, 0ER, 2BB, 6SO, 0HR - W
Daisuke Matsuzaka: 7.0IP, 8H, 3R, 3ER, 1BB, 4SO, 0HR - L
Thursday April 12: Jamie Moyer (PHI)(1-0) vs. Tom Glavine (NYM)(1-1)
Two left-handed veterans who know how to win ballgames go head-to-head in this one. Moyer's an all time favorite of mine and these are the two clubs that will be fighting each other off for the NL East division title this year.
