[Izenhart]

In my money league I have Pettitte, Bumgarner, Estrada and Sale today, which is everyone I'm not streaming. He's got Verlander, Holland and Nolasco. Today will decide a lot of the end-week pickup strategy for both of us.

[benb18a]

I thought really hard about streaming Pettitte today but decided that lightning doesn't strike three times. Good thing I didn't because I've already lost the ratios (even with my Bailey vs. his Gallardo last night ) and am up by like 30 Ks so all I'm looking for are Ws at this point.
