6/29: Looking For a Sweep
Probable Starters: Jose Contreras (8-0, 3.15 ERA) vs. Zach Duke (5-7, 4.86 ERA)
Zach Duke is something of an enigma. His road ERA of 4.24 is much better than his home ERA 5.70, but his road record of 1-5 is much worse than his home record of 4-2. Duke is 1-3 with a 5.59 ERA during the day. Those numbers are not good, but he has been even worse lately. This month he is 2-1 with a 6.35 ERA. It is amazing that he manages to win games giving up that many runs, but it is probably due to the fact that PNC is a very good park for hitters.
Jose Contreras last lost a baseball game in August of 2005. He has struggled in June with a 5.57 ERA, but his ERA in day games is 2.27. On paper, this match-up is a no-brainer. The White Sox have a huge advantage today.
