Rich Harden with a 1-0 record and a 1.69 ERA versus Jarrod Washburn with a 0-0 record and a 4.76 ERA.
The A's starting lineup looks like this:
Kotsay
Byrnes
Kendall
Chavez
Kielty
Hatteberg
Ginter
Swisher
Scutaro
I like this lineup against left-handed pitching. Kielty may seem like an odd choice in the five-slot, but he can murder lefties.
The Angels Angels go with this lineup:
Erstad
DaVanon
Guerrero
Anderson
Finley
Cabrera
Izturis
Molina
Figgins
Come on, Rich!!! And let's get the offense going a little bit today. The first day game at the Coliseum, so perhaps some of the hard hits (like Kotsay and Thomas last night) will actually carry.
LET'S GO OAK-LAND!!!
