Let's check the "Tale-of-the-Tape" on tonight's pitching match-up
between Barb's favorite Italian Stallion, Justin Germano, and Mark
Redman of the Rockies.
Las Vegas, by the way, takes the Friars as the - $1.38 favorite.
---------------> Mark Redman, Rockies <----------------------
1-1 in his first 2 starts, but a "Rocky Mountain High" ERA of
5.06. The vital WHIP (walks + hits per inning) is at least in
the Foothills at 1.78 (16 hits and 3 walks in 10.2 innings).
Redman lost to Arizona 8-1 , but won a slugfest vs. Atlanta
12-6. Both games were at Altitude. He is a Left-hander.
On Sept. 22, 2007, Redman allowed 2 earned runs in 4.1
innings during a start at San Diego.
---------------> Justin Germano, Padres <----------------------
0-0 in his 2 starts to date, but with a perfect ERA of 0.00 !
His WHIP is a microscopic 0.77, with 7 hits and 3 walks
given in 13 inning worked. He is a right-hander.
The one sour note: he faced the Rocks twice last year
at Denver, and lost both times. But this game is at Sea
Level in Petco, and that should make a major difference.
As Barb sez, "Credere negli Italiani " (Believe in the Italians].
