Today's Lineup - Predictions

Some things to think about:  Scott Hatteberg is hitting .211 (4-for-19) in his career against RHP Lopez. ... Left-handed batters hit .323 against LHP Zito this season. ... OF Byrnes is hitting .333 (4-for-12) in his career against RHP Lopez. Orioles - INF Mora is hitting just .158 (3-for-19) in his career against Zito. ... Lopez allowed three runs or less in all but one of his last 10 starts of the 2004 season. ... 2B Roberts is hitting just .105 (2-for-19) in his career against Zito.

  1. Kotsay - CF
  2. Kendall - C
  3. Chavez - 3B
  4. Durazo - DH
  5. Byrnes - LF
  6. Hatteberg - 1B
  7. Crosby - SS
  8. Swisher - RF

Baltimore:
  1. Roberts - 2B
  2. Mora - 3B
  3. Tejada - SS

  5. Lopez - C
  6. Palmeiro - DH
  7. Gibbons - 1B
  8. Bigbie - LF
  9. Matos - CF
If the Orioles go with this lineup, it should  be very interesting to see how we use our bullpen against them.  Personally, I don't think Zito will go more than 5-6 innings because of his usual high pitch counts.  I think we'll see Calero and/or Cruz vs. the middle of their lineup quite a bit (Mora, Tejada, Sosa, Lopez).  Then, Rincon will need to play a big part when the latter end of lineup comes to the plate.

What changes would you make?
