Jered Weaver wins again

Another excellent pitching performance was turned in by Weaver on Monday night as the Angels defeated the Indians. In all five of Weaver's starts this season he has pitched at least six innings. He has gotten 34 strikeouts in that time and allowed just 8 walks. He has lowered his overall ERA in each start and now sits with his ERA under 3.00.

Most clubs want consistency in their pitchers when they take the mound and we have certainly seen that throughout the short career of Weaver. He will give you 6-7 innings and average a K/inning. He will win get at least 12 -14 wins a season and pitch to a good winning %. His overall career mark is 54-27, and he is 3-0 on the season.

Roy Halladay finally took a loss as he was outdueled by Jonathan Sanchez. Sanchez has certainly developed into a dominant lefty and he was clearly at ease pitching against Doc. The Giants got to Doc early with three runs in the first two innings and then held on for the victory. Halladay leaves his win total at 152 and now has a record of 4-1 for 2010. He has left the door open for Lincecum, Pelfrey and Jimenez who have perfect 4-0 records.

Lets hope Jamie Moyer can change the Phils fortune tonight and go to 261 on his career. I don't know how many more starts he will have in his career so I want him to make the most of each start he has. Ryan Howard get that bat going and support him. My prediction for tonight is that the Phils win and Jason Werth goes deep. Lets see how I do.
